Kejriwal dashes off 5 questions on Modi to RSS chief

Expressing concern, Kejriwal said the direction in which the BJP-led Centre is taking the country as well as its politics are harmful for India.

"If this continues, our country and democracy will be finished," he said in the letter to Bhagwat.

From his 'Janta Ki Adalat' rally on Sunday, the former Delhi chief minister demanded answers from Bhagwat on whether he agrees with the BJP's politics of 'using' central agencies to break up political outfits and topple governments led by opposition parties, and inducting 'corrupt' leaders into its fold.

His other questions were if the RSS-BJP's rule on the age for retirement also applied to Modi as it did for leaders like L K Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi, and how Bhagwat felt when BJP chief J P Nadda said his party does not need the RSS, the ideological mentor of the saffron party.

In his letter to the RSS sarsanghchalak, Kejriwal said these questions are in the mind of every Indian, adding that he expects Bhagwat will ponder over those and come up with replies.
