‘They should listen to Mohan Bhagwat’: CJP's Abhijeet Dipke says BJP in power because of RSS

Cockroach Janta Party leader Abhijeet Dipke claimed on Sunday that the BJP believes it has grown more powerful than the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Dipke, who spearheaded a Jantar Mantar protest against alleged NEET exam irregularities, urged the ruling party to heed the advice of Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat. The former political communication strategist made his remarks in response to a reporter's question regarding Bhagwat's statement in New York.

Bhagwat had asserted that a Hindu who believes no Muslims should be in Bharat should no longer consider himself a Hindu.

Dipke argued that the BJP should take Bhagwat's words seriously. Despite being in power for 12 years and holding numerous agencies, the BJP now believes it has outgrown the RSS, he asserted. Dipke pointed out that Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently coined the term "Dimagi Naxal" to refer to protesting Gen Z, signaling his disinterest in Bhagwat's counsel.

The Boston University graduate lamented the contrast between the RSS chief's emphasis on inclusivity and the PM's use of such language. He deemed it unsavory that the PM fails to heed the guidance of their mentor, Mohan Bhagwat.

When asked about activist Sonam Wangchuk's assertion that CJP leaders have political ambitions, Dipke contended that Wangchuk's statement had been misrepresented. He also questioned whether Sourav Das and Ashutosh Ranka harbored ambitions. Wangchuk, however, defended his statement, emphasizing that despite their talents and good leadership, they had remained incorruptible and had conducted themselves honestly during the agitation.

Dipke noted that Wangchuk was subsequently asked about future predictions, to which he replied that no one could foresee a person's future actions, including himself. He advised against blind trust in anyone, as there is no guarantee of a person's future behavior.
