Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday took potshots at Congress president Rahul Gandhi for his recent visits to temples and for sporting a ‘janeyu’ (sacred Hindu thread), saying that people will never forgive those who set aside welfare of the majority community.
Addressing a function of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the RSS’ student wing, he also indirectly attacked first Prime Minister, and Gandhi’s great-grandfather, Jawaharlal Nehru by repeating his statement on how he was “an accidental Hindu”. “Rahul Gandhi represents the fourth generation of that mocked Hinduism by saying so,” he said.
