Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on February 19 alleged that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) did not want his pictures taken inside the Kashi Vishwanath Temple to come out in public and hence denied entry of mobile phones inside the temple when he visited the premises.
“I believe in Lord Shiva and when I went to Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi, the policemen kept all the mobile phones there. This was done because BJP does not want Rahul Gandhi’s photo to be seen inside the Shiv temple,” alleged Mr. Gandhi, while undertaking his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Pratapgarh.
Mr. Gandhi, who toured Pratapgarh and Amethi, the parliamentary constituency he represented for 15 years in Lok Sabha, further accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of spreading hatred, adding that in the country there is no place for Dalits, tribals and the backward community.
