BJP president J. P. Nadda on April 5 lashed out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for using religion at the time of elections.
"There are people who visit temples and wear 'janeu' (the sacred thread) at the time of elections without even knowing how to wear it properly just for utilising religion," Mr. Nadda said in an apparent reference to Mr. Gandhi without naming him.
He was addressing a gathering of saints and seers at the Maya Devi temple, in Haridwar, in support of BJP candidate and former Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat, who is contesting from the Haridwar Lok Sabha seat.
