BJP angry over comparison of Rahul Gandhi with Lord Ram (file photo)
ANI, Chennai. BJP spokesperson CR Keswan on Thursday condemned Maharashtra Congress MLA Nana Patole's statement in which he compared Lok Sabha leader Rahul Gandhi to Lord Ram. He called it a serious insult to Hindu sentiments.
Nana Patole had said that Rahul Gandhi is fighting for justice, just as Lord Ram worked to end oppression.
In a post on X, the BJP leader asked Nana Patole why Rahul Gandhi has not visited Ayodhya Ram temple yet. CR Keswan wrote on X, Nana Patole's comparison of Lord Ram with Rahul Gandhi is an unforgivable, serious insult to the faith and sentiments of crores of Hindu devotees.
Nana Patole had earlier made an outrageous demand for purification of Ayodhya Ram temple after our Honorable President Draupadi Murmu Ram temple visit. Nana Patole's derogatory statements and hypocritical mentality cannot be justified in any way and are highly condemnable.
Would Nana Patole dare to ask Rahul Gandhi why he made fun of the Pran Pratistha ceremony, a dance-song program or why Rahul Gandhi has not yet visited the Ayodhya Ram temple? On the question of Rahul Gandhi not going to Ram temple, Nana Patole had said that Congress is doing the work of Lord Ram.
