Digital Desk, New Delhi. A political storm broke out in Telangana after Congress MLC Bomma Mahesh Kumar Goud accused the BJP of taking the name of Lord Ram for electoral gains. Senior BJP leaders hit back, accusing the Congress of repeatedly insulting Hindu beliefs and Sanatan Dharma for political gains.
Responding to the controversy, Union Minister Giriraj Singh said that it shows a lack of understanding of India's cultural and spiritual traditions. He said that if the leaders of Telangana do not understand Hindu and Sanatan culture then it shows their lack of knowledge.
Geeta says that whenever religion declines, a divine person like Ram or Krishna is born. Today Prime Minister Narendra Modi is taking the country to new heights. Working to make India a world leader. He is ensuring all-round development. This has never happened before.
BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala said that insulting Hindus and Sanatan has become the identity of Congress. Therefore, insulting Hindus is not a coincidence, it is part of a well-planned strategy.
What did the Congress leaders say?
Congress leader Mahesh Kumar Gaur had said that BJP does politics of caste and religion. Has Lord Ram become a member of BJP? BJP people incite religious sentiments only for electoral gains. Before every election, BJP tries to disturb the peaceful atmosphere by seeking votes in the name of religion instead of focusing on the real problems of the people. (With inputs from news agency IANS)
