The BJP faced criticism from its ideological mentor as RSS leader Indresh Kumar attributed the ruling party's lacklustre performance in the recent Lok Sabha elections to "arrogance."
Speaking at an event at Kanota near Jaipur, Kumar said, "Those who did bhakti of Lord Ram gradually became arrogant. That party was declared the biggest party but were stopped at 241 by Lord Ram due to arrogance."
The comment appeared to be directed at the BJP, which won 241 seats in the Lok Sabha polls but failed to cross the majority mark.
Kumar also targeted the opposition INDIA bloc, labelling them as "anti-Ram."
He said, "And those who had no faith in Ram, they together were stopped at 234. God's justice is true and enjoyable." This remark seems to refer to the INDIA bloc, which secured 234 seats in the elections.
The RSS leader's comments come days after RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat preached the importance of humility in public service.
Bhagwat said, "A true sevak maintains dignity. He follows the decorum while working. He does not have the arrogance to say 'I did this work'. Only that person can be called a true sevak."
Bhagwat also stressed the need for modesty and goodwill towards everyone, citing the principles of non-violence and truth.
