A 7-second video clip of Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal is being shared on social media where he appears to be saying, “Our family was of the Jan Sangh Parivar. We are born ‘BJPwallah’. My father was in Jan Sangh. He went to jail during the emergency.”<\/p>\n

The video was shared by Congress member Mini Nagare after the AAP’s win the Punjab elections. The clip is being passed off as proof that Kejriwal admitted that his family has links with the RSS.<\/p>\n

One Twitter user Ajay had posted<\/a> the clip amid the Delhi elections in 2020 along with the message, “Does anybody need further proof of Kejriwal’s RSS roots?”<\/p>\n

Does anybody need further proof of Kejriwal’s RSS roots?<\/p>\n

“I come from a Jan Sangh family, I was born in a BJP family. My father was in Jan Sangh & went to jail during Emergency”<\/p>\n

Alt News had also received a request on its official<\/a> mobile application to fact-check the video.<\/p>\n

Fact-check<\/h4>\n

Alt News found that the 7-second clip has been lifted from a February 2020 interview of Kejriwal with NDTV where he claimed that he was quoting a BJP supporter. The Delhi chief minister did not accept that his family has RSS roots.<\/p>\n

At 7:15 minutes in the video<\/a> posted below, Kejriwal can be heard saying, “I saw a ‘BJPwallah’ who was speaking on a channel. He said, ‘Our family was of the Jan Sangh Parivar. We are born ‘BJPwallah’. My father was in Jan Sangh. He went to jail during the emergency but this time I will vote for Kejriwal’.”<\/p>\n
