The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) slammed Congress leader Salman Khurshid on Tuesday for comparing Rahul Gandhi with Bhagwan Rama. BJP National Spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said that the Congress can do any kind of politics to get votes.

“It is in the DNA of the Congress party. If they want votes, they can do any kind of politics and this is the reason behind Salman Khurshid comparing our adorable deity Bhagwan Shri Ram with such a person (Rahul Gandhi) who is out on bail and the people of India will give him the answer,” said Gaurav.

Saying that it is complete sycophancy comparing a person who is out on bail on the charges of corruption with Lord Ram, the BJP spokesperson said that this in itself shows that there is no dearth of sycophancy in the Congress party.

“The victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s ideology is clearly visible. This is the same Congress which used to say that Bhagwan Lord Ram is imaginary,” he said.

“When elections come, he becomes a hypocrite Hindu,” added Bhatiya.

On Monday, Salman Khurshid compared Rahul Gandhi to Bhagwan Ram and said, "Bhagwan 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 UP. Now that 'khadau' has reached UP, Ram ji (Rahul Gandhi) will also come."
