"I don't know what his Nani recited to him": BJP's Virendraa Sachdeva accuses Kejriwal of "insulting" Sanatan
Jan 21, 2025
New Delhi [India], January 21 : Delhi BJP President Virendraa Sachdeva launched a scathing attack on AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, accusing him of insulting Sanatan Dharma and misinterpreting the sacred text, Ramcharitmanas.
Sachdeva questioned Kejriwal's sudden interest in temples, alleging that he only remembers them when elections are near.
He accused Kejriwal, accusing him of "insulting" Sanatan Dharma and "misinterpreting" Ramcharitmanas. He said that these people are "adharmi" and only remember temples when elections are nearing.
"The way Arvind Kejriwal has misinterpreted Shri Ramcharitmanas and has tried to insult the Sanatana, this is not the first time. These people are Adharmi. I don't know what his Nani (grandmother) recited to him, but he (Arvind Kejriwal) used to say that the Ram Temple should not be built. Now that the elections are coming up, he is remembering Ram Temple and all the other temples," Sachdeva told ANI.
Sachdeva on Tuesday morning offered prayers at the Pracheen Hanuman Mandir, located in Connaught Place. He was seen offering prayers and wearing a sacred chunni (cloth) around his neck with 'Ram naam'.
The dates for the assembly elections in Delhi are nearing as the voting will happen on February 5 while the counting of votes will conclude on February 8.
Earlier, Sachdeva and BJP MP Yogender Chandoliya visited the JJ Cluster area of Bawana town to showcase the alleged disrepair and the "grim state" of the government flats in the area. The BJP leaders also live-streamed the state of the flats, and strongly criticised the AAP-led government for "wasting public money."
Meanwhile, Sachdeva on Monday also slammed AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal for 'hindering' allotment of 50,000 flats to sanitation workers and labourers in Ghoga Bhavan Narela, despite 60% central funding.
Sachdeva claimed that these flats could have been allotted to sanitation workers and labourers, but Kejriwal, in his three terms as CM, blocked this to prevent the poor from benefiting. He further said that the AAP party is announcing providing houses to poor people before the election.
The alliance partners in the INDIA bloc, including Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress, have been contesting the upcoming assembly polls in Delhi separately while attacking each other over many issues along with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
However, the BJP-led NDA seems to be united in these assembly polls as the BJP has announced its candidates on 68 seats out of 70, leaving two seats of Burari for Shailendra Kumar from Janata Dal (United) and Deoli for Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas).
A three-way contest is on the cards in Delhi between the ruling AAP, BJP, and Congress. Congress, which was in power for 15 consecutive years in Delhi, has suffered setbacks in the last two assembly elections and has failed to win any seat.
AAP dominated the 2020 assembly elections by winning 62 out of 70 seats while the BJP got eight seats.
