In the high-stakes political battleground of the Delhi Assembly elections, parties are wielding modern tools like Artificial Intelligence to gain an advantage. But just as infantry decides a war's outcome, this struggle has descended onto traditional ground—letters. AAP's leader Arvind Kejriwal has addressed a letter to RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat. In it, Kejriwal raises two pressing inquiries: Does the RSS endorse BJP's recent misdeeds? The BJP swiftly countered with a letter to Kejriwal, urging resolutions for the people's welfare in the coming year. Earlier, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi had written to LG VK Saxena, appealing against the demolition of Hindu and Buddhist religious sites. Clearly, political parties recognize the need to keep traditional weaponry polished to emerge victorious. These letters are making waves across both social media and mainstream outlets.
Kejriwal's Strategic Dual-Target Letter to RSS Chief
Former Delhi Chief Minister and AAP mastermind, Arvind Kejriwal, accuses BJP leaders of openly distributing money. Does the RSS sanction vote buying? Kejriwal questions Bhagwat on the large-scale exclusion of Dalit and Purvanchali voters. Is this anything but detrimental to democracy? Does the RSS not see BJP weakening democratic principles? Notably, Kejriwal had previously queried Bhagwat on five issues three months ago, raising concerns about BJP's poaching of rival party leaders and integrating corrupt politicians.
By targeting the RSS, Kejriwal aims to prevent division among anti-BJP votes in Delhi. Unlike his rivals, he consistently pulls the RSS into BJP's orbit to clarify to anti-BJP voters, potentially leaning towards Congress, that AAP is their true alternative. Kejriwal frequently questions the ties between RSS and BJP.
The core message in both his past and recent letters is that BJP's actions are orchestrated by the RSS. Kejriwal wants Delhiites to recognize that Bhagwat's recent appeal after the Sambhal violence, asking Hindu organizations not to seek out temples in mosques, was mere pretense.
Kejriwal's inquiries regarding Purvanchalis and Dalits suggest BJP and RSS neglect these communities. He anticipates RSS won't respond to his letter. Should the RSS reply, his mission is accomplished, as voter suppression among these groups remains understated. Thus, whether Bhagwat replies or not, Kejriwal gains an opportunity to highlight RSS's disregard for these communities' interests in every rally.
