BJP thinks it is bigger than RSS; should listen to Mohan Bhagwat: Dipke
He also said that Sonam Wangchuk's statement in an interview about CJP leaders’ political ambition was being distorted.
BJP leader Abhijeet Dipke claimed on Sunday that the ruling party believes it has surpassed the Rashtra Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), but should heed the advice of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat. Dipke responded to a reporter's inquiry about Bhagwat's New York remarks, which suggested that anyone believing Hinduism should exclude Muslims is no longer a Hindu. Dipke emphasized that his party should listen to Bhagwat, as the BJP has been in power for 12 years and now possesses numerous agencies.
Bhagwat previously stated that Gen Z protesters should not be labeled as anti-nationals, which Dipke criticized when Modi introduced the term "Dimagi Naxal." The RSS chief advocates for inclusivity and not defaming children, while the PM employs such language, according to Dipke. He argued that the BJP should at least respect Bhagwat, their mentor, as the BJP's current power stems from the RSS.
Regarding activist Sonam Wangchuk's assertion that CJP leaders have political ambitions, Dipke dismissed the claim as a distortion. He was asked about specific individuals, Sourav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, but Dipke stated that such speculations cannot predict future actions or intentions. Wangchuk defended the notion of political ambition, asserting that it is not wrong to aspire to political power. Dipke advised against blind faith in anyone, emphasizing the unpredictability of human behavior.
