Congress Rajya Sabha MP Pramod Tiwari on Tuesday slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Aam Aadmi Party, saying that both parties "become fake" during the elections.
Speaking to ANI, the Congress MP said that the BJP uses a fake narrative in the context of religion, which in turn causes issues for both the BJP and the AAP. He further slammed the AAP National Convenor, Arvind Kejriwal, accusing him of misinterpreting the Ramayan, stating that Kejriwal is writing another version of it. "During elections, when the BJP becomes fake Hindu, fake Muslim, fake Sikh, and fake Christian, then the problem is faced by both the AAP and the BJP because during the election they all become fake... I think the Ramayana is read in every Hindu household... If he (Arvind Kejriwal) is writing another version of Ramayana, then we will know," Tiwari said. Earlier on Monday, Arvind Kejriwal, while addressing the slum clusters of Vishwas Nagar, recited a topic of Ramayana related to the incident of 'Sita-Hiran,' where Goddess Sita falls prey to Ravan's 'golden deer' tactics. Kejriwal compared the BJP to a 'golden deer' and said, "Don't get involved in their trap," to the people of Vishwas Nagar. "I want to warn the slum dwellers that these days they (people of BJP) are staying in slums; they do not love you; they love your vote and will sell all your land after the elections. Lord Ram was exiled for 14 years, so one day he went to the forest to arrange for food, left Mata Sita in the hut and told Laxman that he would protect Sita Maa; meanwhile, Ravan came in the form of a golden deer. Sita said to Laxman that she wanted this deer... Laxman went and Ravan kidnapped Sita Maa; these BJP people are also like that golden deer. Do not get involved in their trap," former CM Kejriwal stated. Meanwhile, Delhi BJP President Virendraa Sachdeva on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on AAP national convenor, 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 Assembly election in Delhi are going to take place in a single phase on February 5. The counting of votes is will take place on February 8. (ANI)
