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

The former political communication strategist made the remarks in reply to a reporter's question about the RSS chief's statement in New York. Bhagwat had said that if any Hindu thinks that there should be no Muslims in Bharat, he will not remain a Hindu.

''I have been saying this from the beginning that the BJP should listen to Mohan Bhagwat. After being in power for 12 years and having so many agencies in its hands, the BJP is thinking that it has grown bigger than the RSS," Dipke was quoted by news agency PTI as saying.

He pointed out that Bhagwat had earlier said that the protesting Gen Z should not be called anti-nationals.

"But the PM (Narendra Modi) came up with a new word, 'Dimagi Naxal'. It clearly shows that the PM is not listening to Mohan Bhagwat,'' Dipke added.

The Boston University graduate said that while the RSS chief talks about inclusivity and not disrespecting children, the PM uses such words. “This doesn't look good," he said.

"They should at least listen to Mohan Bhagwat, who is their mentor... they (BJP) are in power because of the RSS,'' Dipke added.
