Aam Aadmi Party leader and former Delhi Chief Minister posed questions to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday and asked if 75-year age cap applies for veteran BJP leader L.K. Advani, why not to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Addressing the public at Jantar Mantar, his first public meeting after resigning from CM post, Kejriwal posed five questions to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and asked whether the organization agreed with the manner in which the Bharatiya Janata Party and Modi functioned.

Kejriwal asked the RSS ideologue whether he agreed the manner in which Modi broke parties and accepted leaders, whom they called corrupt, in the BJP. “Modi ji is breaking parties and bringing down governments across the country by luring them or threatening them with ED and CBI, is this correct?; Modi ji has included the most corrupt leaders in his party, whom he himself called corrupt, do you agree with such politics?” Kejriwal said, ANI reported.
Kejriwal asked has the RSS ever stopped Modi from doing wrong things as the BJP was born out of “RSS’ womb”. He also asked Bhagwat how he felt when BJP chief J.P. Nadda said his party did not need the RSS, which is the saffron party's ideological mentor.“You people have made a law that leaders will retire after 75 years. Amit Shah is saying that this rule will not apply to Modi ji. What applied to Advani ji, why will it not apply to Modi ji?” he asked.
Addressing at the event, Kejriwal said he decided to go to the court of people, face elections since lawyers told him the trial in Delhi liquor policy cases could go for 10 years. Kejriwal added he would vacate the CM’s bungalow after Shraadh. “After the Shraadh is over, at the beginning of Navratri, I will leave the house and come and stay at the house of one of you,” he said.
The former CM, accused of corruption in Deli liquor policy was released on bail from Tihar jail on September 13 after over five months in prison. Kejriwal said he joined politics to serve the country and not for any greed for power or post.
