Punjab Congress president Amrinder Singh Raja Warring on Wednesday condemned Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for resorting to “competitive Hindutva” to outwit the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Gujarat. “After failing with his competitive populism, Kejirwal is now resorting to competitive Hindutva to win Gujarat,” he said, adding, “but he will fail again, for sure as people are wise enough to read into his desperate designs”.
Taking a dig at Kejriwal for his demand that currency notes should depict the pictures of goddess Laxmi and lord Ganesha, Warring said that the people of India, more so Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh, are too wise to get carried away by his fake religiosity.
He said that after failing to fool the people of Gujarat and HP by his fake claims about Punjab, Delhi Chief Minister had adopted a new stratagem apparently to show himself as more Hindutva oriented and inclined than even the BJP. “Even the BJP is not as blunt as Kejriwal in propagating Hindutva for votes,” he remarked.
Warring asked AAP’s Punjab leaders to spell out their stand on the issue as whether they also agree with Kejriwal’s demand for depicting pictures of goddess Laxmi and lord Ganesha on currency notes.
