“RSS wants to be forcibly worshipped, PM Modi wants…”: Rahul Gandhi

TIL Desk/National/Kurukshetra/ Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has said Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants all people in the country should worship him, while the focus of the Congress is “tapasya”.

He said the Bharat Jodo Yatra was against hatred and fear being spread in society and he sees the foot march as “tapasya”, suggesting the Yatra was about austerity and self-meditation.

Targeting the RSS and the BJP, he said they want people to forcibly worship them by using wealth, capturing institutions and creating fear.

“RSS wants they be forcibly worshipped. PM Narendra) Modi ji wants this, that is why he does not meet you (media), that he be worshipped and all people in the country should worship him,” Mr. Gandhi alleged.

Invoking Bhagavad Gita, Mr. Gandhi said, “…Do your work, what has to happen will happen, don’t focus on the outcome, this is the thinking of this Yatra.” He said hatred is being spread by dividing people of the country. “Hindu-Muslim, people of different castes are pitted against each other,” he added.
