In his resignation letter, Rajendra Pal Gautam wrote, “I personally attended the Buddhist Dhamma Deeksha Samaroh organized by Mission Jai Bhim and Buddhist Society of India on the occasion of Ashok Vijayadashami on October 5, 2022, at Ambedkar Bhavan Rani Jhansi Road as a member of society. This had nothing to do with the Aam Aadmi Party and my council of ministers. Babasaheb’s great-grandson Rajratna Ambedkar repeated 22 vows of Babasaheb which were repeated by more than 10000 people as well as me. After that, I see that the BJP is targeting our leader Shri Arvind Kejriwal Ji, and the Aam Aadmi Party, it is very sad for me.”

He added, “22 pledges made by Babasaheb were also published by Shri Thaawar Chand Gehlot, former Union minister of the BJP government (Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment) in Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar: Writings and Speeches, Vol-17. These pledges are repeated every year by crores of people at thousands of places held in every corner of the country. The BJP has objections to these 22 pledges made by Babasaheb and him. Hurt by BJP’s dirty politics, I am resigning from my ministerial post.”

He additional mentioned in his resignation letter, “I don’t want any kind of attack on my leader Shri Arvind Kejriwal Ji, and my party because of me. As a true soldier of the party, I will carry out the just and equitable constitutional values shown by The Tathagata Buddha and Babasaheb for life. I will fight for the rights of my sisters and daughters and the people of the community with utmost strength throughout my life. Some People with the Manuwadi mindset are threatening on social media and phones, to harm my life and property, my family, and my colleagues but I am not afraid of all this. I will fight for the rights of our community with utmost courage, honesty, and strength. Even if I have to sacrifice myself in this fight for the rights of the community, I will not let this fight stop.”

On Wednesday (October 5), AAP MLA (Seemapuri) minister Rajendra Pal Gautam was noticed at an occasion the place 10,000 Hindus had been transformed en masse to Buddhism. The controversial occasion, organized by the Buddhist Society of India, was carried out on the Dr. BR Ambedkar Bhavan in Jhandewalan in New Delhi. During the occasion, a saffron-clad man administered an oath to the group, which carefully resembled the controversial 22 vows of BR Ambedkar. The man urged the Hindus to disassociate themselves from their unique Faith and desist from the worship of deities.

The Aam Aadmi Party was extensively slammed for this anti-Hindu stand taken by a minister within the Delhi govt, and the BJP had began to make use of it to color the get together as anti-Hindu within the marketing campaign for Gujarat meeting elections. Party supremo Arvind Kejriwal had gone right into a injury management mode calling himself “rabidly religious”, after posters focusing on the get together had come up in Gujarat. Heeding to the general public backlash and with Gujarat meeting elections simply months away, AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal referred to as himself ’non secular’ and highlighted that he was born on Janmashtami, the birthday of Lord Krishna, to remove the kids of ‘Kans’.

Talking in regards to the posters, Kejriwal mentioned, “I saw my posters across Gujarat against me. I know they (BJP) hate me. I have no problem with them defaming me, but now they are using abusive words against gods as well. They are insulting gods as well, they are not even sparing gods. They are the descendants of Kansa.”

However, now it appears Arvind Kejriwal will not be positive that mere his phrases will assist to clean off the anti-Hindu picture of the get together painted by Rajendra Pal Gautam’s acts, and subsequently he bought him to resign.
