The former Delhi chief minister wrote to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat asking whether his organisation endorsed BJP’s “wrongdoings” like the deletion of names from voters’ list

AAP SUPREMO Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday (1) wrote to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and alleged deletion of votes and money distribution by the BJP in Delhi.
Kejriwal raised several questions in his letter to the RSS chief which comes ahead of the Delhi Assembly polls.
The former Delhi chief minister asked Bhagwat if the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) endorsed the “wrongdoings” committed by the BJP.
He asked if the RSS supported money being openly distributed by the BJP leaders to buy votes and “large-scale” deletion of Purvanchali and Dalit voters by the saffron party.
BJP retort
The BJP has accused the AAP and Kejriwal of helping illegal Rohingya and Bangladeshis staying in Delhi with documents and money to use them as vote bank in the elections.
The elections to the 70-member Delhi Assembly are due to be held in February.
The BJP on Wednesday asked AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal to learn “spirit of service” from the RSS leaving behind his “political moves” instead of writing to the organisation’s chief Mohan Bhagwat to draw “media attention”.
The BJP’s reaction came after Kejriwal wrote a letter to the RSS chief and alleged deletion of voter’s names from the electoral rolls and distribution of money by the BJP to “buy votes” in Delhi ahead of the assembly polls.
He also asked Bhagwat if he supports such “wrong activities” of the BJP.
Reacting sharply, BJP national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi alleged that Kejriwal’s letter to the RSS chief is nothing but a bid to grab “media attention”.
“Don’t write to the Sangh (RSS), learn from it,” he asked Kejriwal.
He said the Seva Bharati, which is affiliated to the RSS, is the “biggest organisation” in India which works for the welfare of people, including the Dalits living in slums.
“Learn the spirit of service (from the RSS and its affiliates). Leave behind your political moves,” Trivedi, also a Rajya Sabha MP, asked the AAP chief.
