BJP failed to secure majority in Lok Sabha due to 'arrogance:’ RSS top gun

Nagpur, NT Bureau: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh leader Indresh Kumar on Thursday said that the Bharatiya Janata Party had failed to secure its majority in the Lok Sabha elections due to “arrogance”, reported PTI.

The RSS is the mentor of the BJP which won 240 seats in the general election, a significant dip from its tally of 303 seats in 2019. As it fell short of the majority mark of 272 seats, it had to depend on its partners in the National Democratic Alliance to form the government.

“The party which did the bhakti [of lord Ram] but became arrogant was stopped at 241 (sic) but it was made the biggest party,” he said, referring to the BJP.

He was speaking at the Ramrath Ayodhya Yatra Darshan Poojan Samaroh in Jaipur. “And those who had no faith in Ram, they together were stopped at 234,” he said, referring to the Opposition INDIA bloc, of which the Congress emerged as the largest party.

“See the vidhan [law] of Ram Rajya in democracy,” Kumar said.

“Those who worshipped Ram but gradually turned arrogant, that party emerged as the biggest party. The vote and power that should have been given to them was stopped by God due to their arrogance.”

“Those who opposed Ram, none of them was given power,” Kumar added. “Even all of them together were made number two. God’s justice is true and enjoyable.”

Kumar’s comments came three days after Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat, remarked that decorum had not been maintained during the Lok Sabha election campaign.
