Indore (Madhya Pradesh) [India], Oct 29 (NT): Ahead of Rahul Gandhi ‘s  Mahakal visit, the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday launched a mocking attack on Congress president Rahul Gandhi, questioning him about his ‘gotra’.

Speaking at a public meeting in Indore, the BJP spokesperson, Sambit Patra said that if Rahul wears a ‘janeu’, what type of ‘janeu’ does he wear, what is his ‘gotra’?”

Actually Patra was targeting on Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Ujjain where he went to the Mahakaleshwar Temple to offer prayers on Monday.

For those who don’t know Janeu is a holy thread worn by some devout Hindu men while Gotra, in Hinduism, refers to a kinfolk or a successor in a steady line from a common male antecedent.

Congress President Rahul Gandhi along with senior leaders Kamal Nath and JM Scindia visited the Mahakaleshwar temple in Madhya Pradesh today.

 

It is noted that last year in November, Rahul Gandhi had cited Lord Shiva while responding to the BJP's condemnation of his visits to the temple during the Gujarat assembly polls.

"Main Shiv ka bhakt hoon, sachaai mein believe karta hoon. BJP jo bhi bole main apni sachaai mein believe karta hu (I am a devotee of Shiv. The BJP may say anything, but I will remain honest.)," Gandhi had invoked.
