'I want RSS to take a clear stand': Kejriwal demands RSS to clarify its stance over PM Modi's 'sent by God' remark

NEW DELHI: Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his recent statement of feeling "sent by God " and demanded Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh to clarify their stand on the issue. Today, I want to ask the people of this country, do they also believe that PM Modi is God? We believe in Lord Ram, Lord Krishna, Lord Shiva, and Waheguru. They hope that the Prime Minister will resolve their issues. In Maharashtra, he said Sharad Pawar is a 'bhatakti aatma', Uddhav Thackeray is the fake son of his father," Kejriwal added.

NEW DELHI: Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his recent statement of feeling "sent by God " and demanded Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh to clarify their stand on the issue."Nowadays, PM Modi is in a different world altogether. If you look at his last 10-12 interviews, he is openly saying that I am not a normal human, I am God's avatar. I was not born out of my mother but directly emerged on this planet. Today, I want to ask the people of this country, do they also believe that PM Modi is God? We believe in Lord Ram, Lord Krishna, Lord Shiva, and Waheguru. How can we accept him as God?" Kejriwal said to ANI."Now, even his followers are saying the same thing...Sambit Patra said Lord Jagannath is PM Modi's devotee. JP Nadda says PM Modi is 'Devtaon ka devta'. In which world are they living, people are under distress and they are calling themselves as God. And I want RSS to take a clear stand here, they can't remain silent. Does RSS also believe that PM Modi is God's avatar?" he added.Delhi CM's reaction came in response to PM Modi's remark made during an interview, where he expressed a belief in being divinely ordained rather than biologically born.The 'sent by God' remarks picked more pace when BJP's Lok Sabha candidate Sambit Patra sayid that Odisha's most revered deity "Lord Jagannath is a devotee of Prime Minister Narendra Modi". After his comment Odisha chief minister Naveen Patnaik and other leaders reacted.Kejriwal also accused PM Modi of hurling abuses against the opposition and the minority communities of the country."There is a lot of rage in public against BJP. People are fed up with inflation and unemployment...people are not able to make ends meet, and their children are unemployed. They hope that the Prime Minister will resolve their issues. But when they open their television and listen to PM's speech, they find him hurling abuses," he said."He (PM Modi) is saying that if you vote for the INDIA bloc, they will take one of your two buffalos, they will take away 'tontis' (tap), they will take away your 'mangalsutra'. In Maharashtra, he said Sharad Pawar is a 'bhatakti aatma', Uddhav Thackeray is the fake son of his father," Kejriwal added.
