Mahatama Gandhi is our Guru: Rahul countering PM Modi’s allegation

TIL Desk/National/Ahmedabad/ Countering PM Modi’s allegation on Congress and the Nehru-Gandhi family hate people of Gujarat and have done injustice towards them, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi has said his family’s political guru Mahatma Gandhi was a Gujarati whose thinking they have imbibed.

On the concluding day of his Gujarat Navsarjan Yatra, Rahul was given a grand reception by the Patidars in Mehsana town, epicentre of the quota agitation. Earlier in the day, he campaigned in Patan and Mehsana districts, known to be bastions of BJP.

During interaction Rahul said: My family’s political guru Mahatma Gandhi was a Gujarati. We have imbibed it fundamentally and shared it. And, it is Gujarati thinking. We do not look at the state, but the person. Gujarat has given India a lot of strength — whether it is Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel or Gandhiji. It’s a fact, but BJP has a style of distorting facts.”
