RSS Leader's U-Turn After "Those Who Took Up Lord Ram's Resolve..." Remark

Indresh Kumar had sparked a row yesterday by stating that the BJP was restricted to 240 seats, well below the majority mark, in the Lok Sabha polls due to its "arrogance".

After his controversial statement on the BJP's performance in the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections, RSS leader Indresh Kumar attempted to clarify his remarks by saying the polls show that those who opposed Lord Ram have been defeated while those who set the goal of restoring Lord Ram's glory are in power.

Mr Kumar had sparked a row yesterday by stating that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was restricted to 240 seats, well below the majority mark, in the recently concluded Lok Sabha polls due to its "arrogance". Speaking at an event near Jaipur on Thursday, Mr Kumar said, "The party which did bhakti of Lord Ram and became arrogant was stopped at 240; however, it became the biggest party."

"And those who had no faith in Ram were stopped at 234," he said, referring to the INDIA bloc. "See the 'Vidhan' of Ram Rajya in democracy; those who did 'Bhakti' of Ram, but gradually turned arrogant, emerged as the biggest party; however, the vote and the power that they should have been given was stopped by God due to arrogance."
