“Narendra Modi does not care about religion, Hinduism or temples”: Rahul Gandhi
At a rally in Kerala, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi sharply criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that he uses Hinduism and temples to secure votes. Gandhi claimed that Modi does not genuinely care about religion or temple traditions, but instead deploys them as political tools during elections.
During the ongoing election campaign, the Congress and incumbent Left Democratic Front government has frequently been accusing the BJP of appealing to religious sentiments for electoral advantage. Gandhi argued that such practices dilute the true essence of religion and shift focus away from pressing governance issues.
The BJP has consistently denied these allegations, asserting that its policies reflect respect for religious and cultural values.
