NEW DELHI: RSS ' English language mouthpiece 'Organiser' has come up with a scathing observation on the BJP, its Delhi unit and the candidates who were launched in the poll fray in the aftermath of a humiliating loss in the national capital.

"A bad candidate cannot claim a premium just because the party he belongs to is good. An evil is an evil..." the article said, quoting Deen Dayal Upadhyay.

In a no-nonsense approach, the author asserted that the BJP as an organisation needs to understand that Amit Shah and Narendra Modi "cannot always help out".

"Narendra Modi and Amit Shah cannot always help out in the Assembly level elections and there is no option but to rebuild the organisation in Delhi to address the local aspirations," said the article.

The article titled 'Delhi's Divergent Mandate', authored by editor Prafulla Ketkar, called for understanding the "context of city-state voting behaviour" in Delhi. The article says the answer lies in the changing character of aspirational Delhi.

It said that the 'Shaheen Bagh narrative' failed for the BJP because Arvind Kejriwal steered clear of it. However, the author also took a dig at the "saffron avatar" of Kejriwal and hinted that the BJP must keep a watch on him.

"This genie of Muslim fundamentalism experimented under the pretext of CAA may create a new testing ground for Kejriwal. How does Kejriwal respond to this danger? How far was his chanting of Hanuman Chalisa genuine?" the article said.

It was reported earlier that both the Sangh and VHP are content with the Hindu-centric politics that forced Kejriwal to adapt to the changing trend. But Ketkar is apprehensive that it's not the 'genuine' side of AAP.
