These questions emerged on the day of Dussehra when the former Delhi Chief Minister invoked Ram. Delivering a lecture on the occasion of the holy Hindu festival he declared that taking inspiration from ‘Ram Rajya’, his party and Delhi government is performing good governance where rich and poor alike get the benefit.

Speaking on the occasion of Dussehra, the civil servant turned politician said, “Taking inspiration from the concept of ‘Ram Rajya’, we try to run our government in Delhi. Every child in Delhi, whether rich or poor, should get a good education. Every person, whether rich or poor, should get good treatment.
