RSS mouthpiece slams Arvind Kejriwal for attacks on PM Narendra Modi

NEW DELHI: RSS mouthpiece Organiser has castigated chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, accusing him of making a desperate bid to enhance his own sta ture by attacking Prime Minster Narendra Modi.

"An attempt to enhance his own stature by attacking the PM is the most convenient option for the Dharna-fame chief minister," writes the weekly in its latest edition.

"Raising reckless issues and putting allegations without any substantial proof have been part of his political tactics which have given him sizeable success," writes the RSS magazine about Kejriwal whose government is on a collision course with the NDA-led Centre.

It cites Kejriwal's recent letter to LG Najeeb Jung in which he alleged that BJP MP Maheish Girri along with NDMC vice-chairman Karan Singh Tanwar were involved in M M Khan murder case. Khan was shot on May 16, a day before he was scheduled to pass the order on the lease term of a hotel which was functioning on property leased by NDMC.

Terming it a new stunt to gain publicity, the weekly mentioned the CM's June 20 tweet in which he said that Girri and Tanwar would have been behind bars had Delhi Police been under the city government. "Kejriwal normally challenges po liticians for open debate but this time he got trapped in his own game. Earlier also, he framed baseless allegations on leaders like Arun Jaitley, Nitin Gadka ri etc. but they were challenged in the court of law," the weekly claimed.
