BJP should listen to Mohan Bhagwat: Abhijeet Dipke

Cockroach Janta Party leader Abhijeet Dipke said the BJP believes it has grown bigger than the RSS and should listen to Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat. He also rejected claims that CJP leaders have political ambitions, calling the statement distorted

Sambhajinagar (Maha): Cockroach Janta Party leader Abhijeet Dipke on Sunday said the BJP believes it has become bigger than the RSS, but should pay heed to what Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat has been saying.

He was replying to a reporter’s question about the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief’s statement in New York that if any Hindu believes there should be no Muslims in Bharat, he or she would cease to be Hindu.

“I have been saying this from the beginning: the BJP should listen to Mohan Bhagwat. After being in power for 12 years and having so many agencies in its hands, the BJP thinks that it has grown bigger than the RSS,” the CJP leader said.

Bhagwat had earlier said that the protesting Gen Z should not be called anti-nationals, he said.

“But the PM (Narendra Modi) came up with a new term, ‘Dimagi Naxal’. It clearly shows that the PM is not listening to Mohan Bhagwat,” Dipke said.

While the RSS chief talks about inclusivity and not disrespecting children, the PM uses such words, he said, adding that “this doesn’t look good”.

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

Asked about activist Sonam Wangchuk’s statement in an interview with a YouTube channel that, in his assessment, the CJP leaders had political ambitions, Dipke said the statement was being distorted.

“He was asked whether Sourav Das and Ashutosh Ranka had any ambitions. Wangchuk said that we are talented and good leaders and have not been corrupt so far. We have run the agitation honestly.

“He has spoken good things about us,” Dipke said.

Wangchuk was later asked what would happen in the future, but nobody could predict what a person would do in the future, Dipke said.

“Even I cannot tell. I repeatedly tell people not to have blind faith in anyone because we do not know and there is no guarantee about what any person will do in the future,” he said.

Notably, Wangchuk asserted in the interview that it was not wrong to have political ambitions.
