Congress says 'G for...' after BJP leader's 'R for Ravan' jibe at Rahul Gandhi

Hindustan Times  

Congress leaders on Tuesday pilloried BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia for making a comment on Rahul Gandhi after Maharashtra Congress leaders Nana Patole, Rajasthan minister Parsadi Lal Meena said both Rahul Gandhi and Lord Ram's names start with an 'R'. Mocking the Congress leaders, BJP's Gaurav Bhatia said those who are saying that both Rahul and Ram start with an R are overlooking the fact that Ravan's name also contains an R. Congress leaders stoked a controversy after they said both Lord Ram and Rahul Gandhi have their names starting with an ‘R’ Slamming Gaurav Bhati for the Ravan comment, Congress leaders said G - which his name has - also stands for 'gadha', 'garbage' etc. Rajasthan minister Parsadi Lal Meena was the first Congress leader to put forward the parallel in the context of Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra which, he said, is longer than Lord Ram's journey from Ayodhya to Sri Lanka. Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole supported Meena's comments and said it is a coincidence that both Rahul Gandhi and Lord Ram's names begin with an 'R', and there is no comparison being drawn.
