Ahmedabad: Congress President Rahul Gandhi is in Gujarat to embrace evaluation meetings with newly-elected MLAs and party workers. This is his first visit to the state after his party Congress suffered a loss in the recently held Gujarat Assembly Elections.
Apparently aggressive by jibes and the previous hullabaloo over his 'temple run' for the campaigns towards the Gujarat Assembly Polls, Rahul Gandhi again flagged off his visit by offering prayers at the Somnath Temple.
AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi attacked at Rahul over his regular trips to the temples, condemning him of paying no attention to masjids and Muslims.
Rahul Gandhi's previous tour to the Somnath temple had been amidst of huge hue and cry. Since a picture of the temple's visitor’s book surfaced, where Rahul's name was seen signed under the 'non-Hindu' section.
