Delhi Chief Minister and AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal recited Hanuman Aarti during a TV interview on Tuesday (April 5, 2022). This incident is related to Hindi news channel ABP News, in which the anchor told him that this festive season is going on. It’s Tuesday. You are a devotee of Hanuman ji and also go to the temple. Remember or forgot Hanuman Chalisa?
Laughing, Kejriwal replied, “I remember, but today we recite the aarti of Hanuman ji.” After this the Delhi CM closed his eyes and started singing aarti. After reciting the aarti for about 30 seconds, he stopped and said – I am very bad at singing… so those who would be listening would say, what does he sing? On being further asked that do you really worship Hanuman ji every day? Kejriwal’s answer came – not everyday, but I have been a devotee of Hanuman ji since childhood.
Kejriwal also told- We are not leaders. We don’t know how to do politics. This is our strength as well as our weakness. Before joining politics, he worked in the slums of Delhi. Worked there for 10-12 years. Leaving income tax job and stayed there. This was the thinking that the country should move forward. Then there was the Anna movement… till then I never thought that I would join politics.
Explaining the reason behind forming the government in two states in 10 years, he said – the things we talked about touched people’s hearts and everyday life. We say that we will give good education to your children, will provide free and good treatment to every person. In Delhi, we have shown this by doing it. Till today, in 75 years of Indian politics, no party has said vote for me, I will build good schools for your children. I will build a good hospital for your family. It hurts that after all, why didn’t he do the same thing in 75 years?
Anchor Sumit Awasthi further raised the question that you take the Congress green (Delhi and Punjab), but the BJP is not broken (Goa and Uttarakhand)? Kejriwal said- I am a small man. I can defeat neither Sheila Dikshit, nor Charanjit Singh Channi nor Congress. People are defeated in democracy. If someone is proud of himself that he has defeated such a thing, then he will be an idiot. People defeat and they win. You go with an agenda, people win if you believe.
