A day after attributing the Bharatiya Janata Party’s failure to cross the majority mark in the Lok Sabha Election 2024 to “arrogance”, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) ideologue Indresh Kumar took a U-turn on Friday and claimed that the party, which has devotion towards Lord Ram, is in power today.
Talking to media persons on Friday, Kumar said that those who opposed Ram are all out of power, while those who took up Ram’s resolve are now forming the government for the third term.
“Desh ka vatavaran iss samay mein bahut spasht hai. Jinhone Ram ka virodh kiya wo sab satta se baahar hain, jinhone Ram ki bhakti ka sankalp liya aaj wo satta mein hain aur teesri baar ki sarkar Narendra Modi ke netritva mein bann gayi hai. (The atmosphere of the country is very clear at this time. All those who opposed Lord Ram are out of power, those who pledged to worship Ram are in power today and for the third time, the government has been formed under the leadership of Narendra Modi),” the RSS leader said.
“The country will make progress under his (Modi’s) leadership. There is this trust among the people. We hope that this trust thrives,” he added.
Speaking at the ‘Ramrath Ayodhya Yatra Darshan Poojan Samaroh’ event in Kanota near Jaipur on Thursday, Kumar said, “The party which did bhakti of Lord Ram and became arrogant was stopped at 241, however, it became the biggest party.”
“And those who had no faith in Ram were stopped at 234,” he said, referring to the INDIA bloc.
He further said, “See the ‘Vidhan’ of Ram Rajya in democracy; those who did ‘Bhakti’ of Ram, but gradually turned arrogant, emerged as the biggest party, however, the vote and the power that they should have been given was stopped by God due to arrogance.”
“Further, none amongst those who opposed Ram were given power. All of them together were made number two,” he said.
This follows RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s statement a few days ago. Bhagwat said that a true ‘sevak’ should serve people without arrogance and maintain dignity.
“Those who pray to Ram should be humble… Lord Ram does not discriminate and does not punish. Ram delivers justice to everyone. He gives and continues giving to all. Lord Ram was always just and will remain so,” he said.
The flip-flop came after a controversy had erupted over Kumar’s statement against the BJP. Reacting to Kumar’s remark, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said that even if the number of seats won by Congress in the last three general elections were counted together, the Opposition party will not be able to reach the mark where BJP stands in this poll.
Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi also reacted to the RSS leader’s statement and said Lord Ram has given NDA the mandate and the government is working for the people.
