Madhya Pradesh Assembly Election 2018: Rahul Gandhi Doesn’t Know How to Sit in Temple, Claims Yogi Adityanath

Attacking the Congress' Hindutva's approach for the upcoming elections, Adityanath further went on to remark that Gandhi has paid a visit to many temples yet the priests need to tell the Congress President the right way to pray as per Hindu customs and rituals.

Dhar: With days to go for the Madhya Pradesh Assembly Election 2018, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday attacked Congress President Rahul Gandhi saying that the latter has no understanding between a ‘temple’ and a ‘mosque’.

Attacking the Congress’ Hindutva’s approach for the upcoming elections, Adityanath further went on to remark that Gandhi has paid a visit to many temples yet the priests need to tell the Congress President the right way to pray as per Hindu customs and rituals.

While addressing a gathering in Madhya Pradesh‘s Dhar, Adityanath said, “Gujarat mein Rahul Gandhi ne bahot mandiro ke darshan kare lekin jab mandir mein darshan k waqt vo ghutno pe baithe, to pujari ko bolna padha, ki ye mandir hai masjid nahi hai.”

Earlier today the UP CM while campaigning for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Chhattisgarh, sought to establish a connection with the largely tribal voters by saying that Hanuman was one of the most prominent tribals. With the second phase of Assembly elections in Chhattisgarh set for November 20, Tuesday, Yogi asked the voters to go out in huge numbers and vote for the BJP.

Speaking in Bhatgaon on Sunday, Yogi said, “Hunuman sabse bade adivasi hain, vanvasi hain…(Hanuman is the most prominent tribal).” Reiterating that the state was the ‘nanihal’  (mother’s hometown) of Ram, he said, “On vanvaas (exile), Lord Ram helped the tribals against the demons. Just like Ram did in Treta Yug, the BJP is aiming to bring Ram Rajya in the state.”

The UP CM had also alleged that ‘Congress was the biggest obstruction in the construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.’ He had said, “Jo Congress Ram ki nahi ho sakti woh hamare bhi kisi kaam ki nahi ho sakti.”

Madhya Pradesh will go to polls on November 28. The counting of votes will be held on December 11. The tenure of 230-member state Assembly ends on January 7, 2019.
