While BJP leaders rush the sacred bath during the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj, the president of Congress, Mallikarjun Kharge, has received a blow. In the ‘Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan’ manifestation in Mhow, Madhya Pradesh, Kharge said BJP leaders continued to bathing before the camera.
The president of the Congress questioned whether to immerse himself in the Ganges would end poverty in the country or fill the hungry stomachs. “I don’t want to question the ‘Aastha (faith)’ of anyone. If someone feels bad, I apologize. But tell me, when a child is starving, he does not go to school, workers do not receive their quotas, in” At that time, these people spend thousands of rupees and compete to take a dip (in the Ganges), “he said, adding that the dip continue until he appears well in the photographs.
“These people cannot benefit the country. Our faith is in God: people make ‘bids’ at home every day, all women leave their homes after making ‘bids’, no problem. But we have a problem with The poor are exploited in the name of religion, “said Mr. Kharge. The opposition leader in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, was also present at the event.
His comments occurred a day when the Interior Minister of the Union, Amit Shah, took a sacred bath in Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj.
The comments of the president of the Congress have caused a strong response from the BJP. The deputy and spokesman of the party, Sambit Patra, said that Congress’ hatred was an attack on the faith of millions of Hindus.
“Mahakumbh has been the symbol of Sanatana faith for centuries. It hurts to say that while the entire world venerates this faith, the greatest opposition party in India is ridiculed the Mahakumbh and this faith. They are making fun of it.” He said to the media.
Patra said that Congress president’s comments on Mahakumbh and Ganga have harmed millions of people. “He wondered whether ganges would eliminate poverty, would provide jobs or bring happiness to people. Challenge to Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi to make similar comments on the faith of any other religion. Can you question if the People are jobs or if poverty relieves an IFTAAR party?
