BJP criticises Arvind Kejriwal’s letter to RSS chief, asks him to learn ‘spirit of service’ from organisation

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday criticised Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal for his letter to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat, accusing him of using the letter to seek media attention ahead of the Assembly polls in Delhi. The letter, in which Kejriwal alleged voter roll deletions and vote-buying tactics by the BJP, also questioned whether RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat supports such activities. Responding sharply, BJP national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi dismissed the letter as a “publicity stunt.”

“Kejriwal’s letter is nothing but an attempt to draw media attention,” Trivedi said at a press conference. He also suggested the AAP leader learn the “spirit of service” from the RSS leaving behind his “political moves” instead of writing to the organisation’s chief. Trivedi said the Seva Bharati, which is affiliated to the RSS, is the “biggest organisation” in India which works for the welfare of people, including the Dalits living in slums.
