Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi and leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), has raised a significant political challenge by questioning whether the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) supports the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s alleged “wrongdoings.” In a pointed statement, Kejriwal directed his question to Mohan Bhagwat, the chief of the RSS, prompting a deeper reflection on the ties between the RSS and the BJP.

The RSS, founded in 1925, is an ideological mentor to the BJP and plays a pivotal role in shaping the party’s policies and strategies. Many BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, have strong connections with the RSS. Given this close relationship, Kejriwal’s question implies that if the BJP is involved in actions deemed as “wrongdoings,” the RSS, by extension, may be complicit, considering its significant influence over the party’s agenda.

Kejriwal’s criticisms come in the context of several controversies surrounding the BJP, including allegations of corruption, mishandling of national issues, and policies perceived as divisive. The Delhi Chief Minister, who has been a vocal critic of the BJP, particularly its governance at the national level, is now directing his questions toward the RSS, urging them to clarify their position on these issues.

The challenge to Bhagwat highlights the larger tension within Indian politics, where accusations of wrongdoing and ideological influence are increasingly central. By questioning the RSS, Kejriwal is forcing a dialogue on accountability and the ethical responsibilities of both the RSS and the BJP, as they navigate their intertwined political futures.
