Kauravas of the 21st century wear Khakhi half-pants and run 'shakhas': Rahul Gandhi on RSS

New Delhi, Jan 10: In an obvious veiled dig at RSS, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi described them as "Kauravas of the 21st century, who wear Khakhi half-pants, run shakhas, and work against the culture of the country." This came while he addressed a gathering in Kurukshetra during the Haryana leg of the Bharat Jodo Yatra.

 

"Kauravas of the 21st century wear Khakhi half-pants and run 'shakhas'. Besides them stand the country's 2-3 richest people," Gandhi said. He also added that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not responsible for demonetization or the declining economy of the country, but it is those 2-3 rich people who support the RSS who are behind it.

 

 

"RSS members never chant Har Har Mahadev because Lord Shiva was a Tapasavi and these people are attacking India's 'Tapasya'. They have removed Goddess Sita from 'Jai Siya Ram'. These people are working against India's culture," Gandhi said.

 

Congress' Bharat Jodo Yatra led by Rahul Gandhi resumed on Monday morning from Khanpur Kolian in the Kurukshetra district of Haryana. The foot march entered the state on January 6 after covering Uttar Pradesh over a span of three days.

 

Earlier, priests from different parts of the country condemned Rahul Gandhi for his statement that India is a land of Tapasvis and not Pujaris.
