**Kejriwal Responds to BJP’s Ravana Controversy**
In a fiery response to the BJP’s criticism of his recent comments on the Ramayana and Ravana, AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal did not mince words. “They love Ravana so much,” he exclaimed, addressing the ongoing backlash outside his own home.
**What Did Kejriwal Say Regarding Sita Haran?**
Kejriwal, while speaking to the residents of Vishwas Nagar, recounted a tale from the Ramayana involving the infamous ‘Sita-Haran’ episode, where Goddess Sita falls victim to Ravana’s deceptive ‘golden deer’ guise. Drawing a parallel to his political opponents, Kejriwal likened the BJP to a ‘golden deer’ and urged the people of Vishwas Nagar not to fall into their traps.
**Why is BJP Saying Kejriwal Misquoted Ramayana?**
The BJP, through spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari, accused Kejriwal of misquoting the Ramayana and branded him a “Chunavi Hindu” whose true colors have been revealed. Bhandari further criticized Kejriwal and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi for allegedly engaging in ‘appeasement politics’, claiming it is ingrained in their political psyche.
Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva also joined the chorus of disapproval, alleging that Kejriwal’s sudden interest in temples and religious texts is nothing but a ploy to gain votes during election season. Sachdeva condemned Kejriwal for his supposed disrespect towards Sanatan Dharma and misinterpretation of Ramcharitmanas.
As the Delhi Assembly elections loom closer, the political landscape is heating up with these verbal jabs and accusations flying back and forth between the AAP and the BJP. The stage is set for a contentious battle of ideologies and narratives on February 5, when Delhi residents will cast their votes and decide the future of their state.
In the midst of these political fireworks, it is crucial for voters to critically evaluate the claims and counterclaims made by both parties. The essence of democracy lies in informed decision-making and holding our elected representatives accountable for their words and actions. Let us not be swayed by rhetoric or sensationalism but instead focus on the issues that truly matter to us as citizens.
As we navigate the turbulent waters of election season, let us remember that our voices are powerful tools for change. By engaging in meaningful dialogue, staying informed, and exercising our right to vote, we can shape the future of our society and hold our leaders to the highest standards of integrity and accountability. Let us not be mere spectators in this political drama but active participants in building a better tomorrow for ourselves and future generations.
