Media Eye News Bureau: The BJP recently criticised what they dubbed as Rahul Gandhi's “temple run” in a poll-bound Karnataka and accused him of practising “soft Hindutva.”
BJP leader and Union minister Prakash Javadekar said, “They are now on temple spree. Now their advertisements are also in saffron. Earlier they were pseudo-secularists, now they are pseudo-Hinduism. People understand which is election gimmick and which is true devotion.” He added, “Congress President Rahul Gandhi is in Karnataka, we welcome him because wherever he goes for election campaign, Congress loses and BJP wins.”
Rahul Gandhi however asserted, “I like going to temples, wherever I find a religious place. I go there. I feel good and feel happy, and I will continue (to go).”
