Claim
Arvind Kejriwal has flip-flopped on Lord Ram — earlier saying no, now saying yes — changing colours like a chameleon.
“केजरीवाल का जो कह रहे कि राम ना बेटा ना। अभी हां बेटा हां। अरे गिरगिट को भी आप पूछ लेते तो वो भी रंग बदलने के पहले बता।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
The anchor's 'flip-flop from Ram-no to Ram-yes, chameleon changing colours' is a subjective political jab whose factual premise is not supported. There is no documented Kejriwal statement denying Lord Ram; instead the record shows a consistent 'soft Hindutva' trajectory since ~2019 (Hanuman Chalisa, Ayodhya pilgrimages, temple visits). His July 2026 pro-Ram/Sanatani rhetoric continues that line as an attack on BJP over the Ram Mandir donation-theft case, rather than a reversal from a prior anti-Ram stance. Framing continuity as an opportunistic reversal mischaracterizes the record, making the claim misleading.
