The BJP, on Tuesday, slammed Congress leader Salman Khurshid for reportedly comparing senior leader Rahul Gandhi with Lord Rama.

“It is in the DNA of the Congress party. If they want votes, they can do any kind of politics and this is the reason behind Salman Khurshid comparing our adorable deity Lord Shri Ram with such a person (Rahul Gandhi) who is out on bail and the people of India will give him the answer,” BJP’s national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said.

Calling it an absolute sycophancy to compare Rahul with Lord Ram, he said this in itself showed that there was no dearth of sycophants in the Congress party.

“The victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s ideology is clearly visible. This is the same Congress which used to say that Lord Ram is imaginary,” he said.

“It is very clear that the Congress leaders won’t hesitate to do politics only for the sake of votes. It is in the DNA of Congress party leaders,” he added.

In Moradabad yesterday, Khurshid, a former Union minister, linked the ongoing ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ to the epic Ramayana, and compared Rahul to Lord Ram and the Congress to ‘Bharat’.

He said, “Rahul Gandhi is superhuman. While we are freezing in the cold and wearing jackets, he is going out in T-Shirts (for his Bharat Jodo Yatra). He is like a yogi doing his ‘tapasya’ with focus.”

He went on to add, “Lord Ram’s ‘khadau’ goes very far. Sometimes when Ram ji is not able to reach, Bharat takes the ‘khadau’ and goes to places. Like that, we have carried the ‘khadau’ in Uttar Pradesh. Now that ‘khadau’ has reached Uttar Pradesh. Ram ji (Rahul Gandhi) will also come.”
