Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Indresh Kumar has sparked controversy with his remarks on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) following the recent Lok Sabha election results. Kumar attributed the BJP's limited success, securing 240 seats, to arrogance, echoing RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat's earlier comments on the dangers of 'ahankar' (arrogance). Kumar's statement that Lord Ram limited those with arrogance to 241 seats has led to speculation about a rift between the RSS and BJP. However, Maharashtra Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar and other BJP representatives have downplayed the notion of a conflict, emphasizing the strong and organic relationship between the two organizations. Kumar later made a damage control statement, asserting that those who took up Lord Ram's resolve are now in power.
