A Day After Delhi Results, Arvind Kejriwal’s RSS Connection Alleged
New Delhi: For some in Delhi, including the anti-BJP voters, Arvind Kejriwal has not been an alternative against the Hindutva politics put forward by the Narendra Modi-led government. Earlier, there were allegations that the AAP chief has been associated with RSS, the ideological arm of the BJP.
To further assume the AAP leader’s link with the RSS, various instances can be seen in which Kejriwal asks the RSS leadership if it is content with the stances the Prime Minister took. One of such instances is the claim made by Prime Minister Modi that he was sent by God.

However, there have been reports that the RSS silently worked in the national capital for the BJP’s victory. national daily Times of India, citing unknown sources, reported that RSS volunteers carried out a silent “voter awareness” drive across Delhi.
One reason put forward by the critics on Kejriwal’s RSS affiliation was the birth and influence of Anna movement in 2011. The Anna movement, which had the motto of an anti-corruption movement, allegedly had the backing RSS and India Against Corruption, which in a way had RSS support and talked openly against reservation.
