Cong shehzada mocked my Dwarka pooja: PM takes a dig at Rahul
The Daily Guardian
|April 20, 2024
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday hit back at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi after the Wayanad MP had mocked the Prime Minister's visit to Dwarka where he dived into the Arabian Sea off the coast of Gujarat to perform a puja.
-
Prime Minister said that "Congress' Shehzada. mocked his pooja at the holy site for vote bank politics".
Addressing an election rally in Amroha, Prime Minister Modi said, "Lord Krishna went to Gujarat from here. I was born there and now I am in Uttar Pradesh. Kashi made me their MP. When I went to Dwarka, with full devotion I offered prayers but Congress' Shehzada said there is nothing as such to offer prayers. He is insulting the thousands-year-old tradition and our faith just for his vote bank politics.
He said nothing lies under the seas. And I want to ask those who called themselves Yaduvanshi in Bihar, if you are a true Yaduvanshi then how are you sitting with a party that is insulting it." Earlier, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took potshots at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for performing an underwater puja in the remains of the ancient submerged city of Lord Krishna's Dwarka earlier in February, alleging that issues like inflation and unemployment are "not being discussed".
