'Those who became arrogant…': RSS leader Indresh's dig at BJP
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Indresh Kumar on Thursday hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for its worst performance since 2014 in the Lok Sabha elections. Speaking at an event near Jaipur, Rajasthan, Kumar attributed the party's win of only 240 seats—32 short of a majority—to "arrogance." Without naming anyone, the RSS national executive said, "The party that did the bhakti but became arrogant was stopped at 241, but it was made the biggest party."
Kumar targets opposition INDIA bloc in election critique
Kumar also indirectly criticized the opposition's Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance, which secured 234 seats in the election. He stated, "And those who had no faith in Ram, they together were stopped at 234." He further added, "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."
Kumar echoes RSS chief's emphasis on humility in service
Kumar's comments came shortly after RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat stressed the importance of humility in public service. Bhagwat stated, "A true sevak maintains dignity. He follows the decorum while working. He does not have the arrogance to say 'I did this work.' Only that person can be called a true sevak." This sentiment was echoed by Kumar, who emphasized humility and non-discrimination as key principles of Lord Ram.
