In a sharp attack on former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi BJP president Virendraa Sachdeva said that the AAP supremo joined a 10-day Vipassana retreat as he is failing to abandon his lavish, VIP lifestyle.

The BJP leader also dismissed Kejriwal’s meditation retreat as a new medium “to loot taxpayer’s money.”

“He is not able to leave the lavish lifestyle and VIP culture. This is not Vipassana, but ‘Virasata’. It is just a medium to loot the taxpayer’s money. This is a desire for enjoyment and facilities which he is not able to leave. It is in his mind to loot the people of Punjab now. He needs to have remorse instead of going for Vipassana,” said Sachdeva.

“This is not Vipassana, it’s ‘Virasata’ – a legacy of entitlement,” he said, emphasizing the stark contrast between Kejriwal’s humble beginnings and the elite lifestyle he now enjoys. “Instead of meditating, Kejriwal needs to express remorse for his misuse of public funds and excessive indulgence,” Sachdeva added.

Sachdeva’s remarks come after Kejriwal, who is set to embark on a 10-day meditation retreat in Punjab, arrived at a guest house in Hoshiarpur, on Tuesday amid tight security.
