Prime Minister Narendra Modi fired a recent salvo at Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Friday alleging that he had “insulted Lord Krishna” by mocking his underwater “pooja” close to Dwarka. Addressing an election rally in Amroha, UP, Modi referring to Rahul as “Congress ke shahzada” (prince) mentioned, “All of us revere Lord Ram and Lord Krishna, millions of Indians have faith in them, but Congress has always tried to negate the existence of these two gods. I went to Dwarka, and performed underwater pooja, the Congress prince made fun of it. I am now asking his Yaduvanshi (Yadav) friends, those who claim to be devotees of Krishna, how can they have an alliance with Congress which insults Lord Krishna?”
When Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav was requested to react, he heard the reporter’s query and mentioned, “BJP is the biggest party of liars in this universe”, and walked away. Modi is clearly taking the present ballot debate to the subsequent stage. Since many of the Yadav voters help Samajwadi social gathering, an ally of Congress in Uttar Pradesh, he raised the difficulty of “insult of Lord Krishna” in Amroha.
Rahul Gandhi had mocked Modi for performing underwater pooja in Dwarka “without the presence of a pandit”. It is now for each Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav to answer to Modi’s salvo. Both Rahul and Akhilesh are optimistic that their events would get the help of Muslim voters, and likewise from backward castes, Dalits and different poorer sections by elevating the caste census problem. Already rumours are being unfold in western UP concerning the Thakur neighborhood members sad with BJP leaders.
