He also demanded strict punishment for those allegedly involved in the Ram Mandir donation theft, saying the &#8220;thieves&#8221; and &#8220;decoits&#8221; behind the controversy should be punished and hanged.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>The BJP, however, dismissed the event as political posturing. Delhi BJP president Harsh Malhotra described Kejriwal as a &#8220;political Hindu&#8221; and termed the Sundarkand Path a &#8220;political gimmick&#8221;, &#8220;theatrics&#8221; and a &#8220;charade&#8221;.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>Speaking to news agency ANI, Malhotra alleged that the AAP chief invokes religion only when elections approach.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>&#8220;Today, Mr Kejriwal is once again reminded of Lord Ram. He is a &#8216;political Hindu.&#8217; His theatrics have begun anew. Back in January 2024, he had organised Sundarkand recitations, held once a month on Tuesdays, because the 2024 elections were approaching. Now, he has once again resorted to this Sundarkand charade,&#8221; Malhotra told ANI.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>He further claimed that the public was no longer convinced by such gestures.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>&#8220;Lord Ram stands for truth.
