Former Union minister and senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid compared Rahul Gandhi to Lord Ram and Congress to “Bharat” on Monday. Salman Khurshid also connected the ongoing “Bharat Jodo Yatra” to the epic Ramayana.
While addressing media persons, Khurshid said that “Rahul Gandhi is a superman. He is leaving for Bharat Jodo Yatra in t-Shirts while we are wearing jackets and shivering in the cold. He is focused as he performs his ‘tapasya’, much like a yogi.”
According to a report by news agency ANI, Khurshid said: “Lord Ram’s ‘khadau’ goes very far. Sometimes when Ram ji is not able to reach, Bharat takes the ‘khadau’ and goes to places. Like that, we have carried the ‘khadau’ in Uttar Pradesh. Now that ‘khadau’ has reached Uttar Pradesh. Ram ji (Rahul Gandhi) will also come.”
In response to a question regarding the Union Health Ministry’s letter to Rahul Gandhi requesting adherence to Covid protocol during the “Bharat Jodo Yatra,” Khurshid said there cannot be an exclusive guideline for the Congress regarding Covid and added that the party will adhere to the standards whenever general guidelines are released, ANI reported.
“Any scientific protocol that is appropriate for this nation will also be appropriate for us. However, it is inconceivable that Covid-19 would have stated that it would support Congress while ignoring the BJP. We will adhere to the protocol if someone else does. But there is currently no protocol, “said Salman Khurshid.
