RSS leader Indresh Kumar slams BJP, says 'those who became arrogant were stopped at 241 by Lord Ram'

RSS leader Indresh Kumar criticised both the ruling BJP for its "arrogance" and the opposition INDIA bloc for being perceived as "anti-Ram" in his strong comments on the Lok Sabha election results. Speaking at the 'Ramrath Ayodhya Yatra Darshan Poojan Samaroh' near Jaipur in Kanota, the RSS national executive member did not explicitly name any parties but implied that their attitudes were reflected in the election outcome.

"The party which did the bhakti (of lord Ram) but became arrogant was stopped at 241 but it was made the biggest party," he said, in an apparent reference to Narendra Modi-led BJP which got 240 seats in the Lok Sabha seats.

"And those who had no faith in Ram, they together were stopped at 234," he said, apparently referring to the INDIA bloc.


"See the 'Vidhan' of Ram Rajya in democracy; those who did 'Bhakti (worshipped) of Ram but gradually turned arrogant, that party emerged as the biggest party, but the vote and power that should have been given was stopped by God due to their arrogance," he said.

"Those who opposed Ram, none of them was given power. Even all of them together were made number two. God's justice is true and enjoyable," he said.

He stated that Lord Ram neither discriminates nor punishes. "Ram does not cause anyone to grieve. Ram provides justice to all. He has always been and will continue to be just," he remarked.

Kumar also mentioned that Lord Ram safeguarded people and even did good for Ravana.

This comment followed RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's recent assertion that a true 'sevak' is humble and serves people with 'dignity.'
