Kejriwal on CM Rekha Gupta Post: Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta recently stated in a social media post on X that she is working from Delhi to address the city’s growing pollution problem. She also said that she is not like those who abandon Delhi amidst its problems and go away every six months to attend some spiritual retreat or Vipassana program.

CM Rekha Gupta wrote, “My Delhi, my responsibility. This is the thought that motivates us to work. The problem is here, and the solution can also be found here. We are working for Delhi while staying in Delhi. Both short-term and long-term measures are being taken for pollution control.” This statement was in response to criticism regarding the Delhi government’s approach to governance and its efforts to control pollution.

Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal reacted to this and questioned Rekha Gupta’s statement. He wrote that saying someone going for Vipassana meditation is equivalent to leaving Delhi is incorrect. Kejriwal said that Rekha Gupta has a political vendetta against him, and that is why she is making fun of Vipassana meditation.

Kejriwal also explained that Vipassana meditation is not about running away from anything. It is a method taught by Lord Buddha, which gives a person inner peace and balance. He humbly suggested to Rekha Gupta that she should try Vipassana at least once, as it would give her a very good experience and immense peace.

In his statement, Kejriwal clarified that Vipassana is not about running away from anything. It is a process of finding peace of mind and establishing mental balance. He said, “Only the fortunate ones get the opportunity to experience Vipassana. This experience brings positive changes in life and calms the mind.” He wants people not to see it merely as a religious or recreational activity, but as a means of improving their lives.
