Bharatiya Janata Party leader GVL Narasimha Rao likened Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi to the barbaric invader Alauddin Khilji, targeting him over his visits to temples in Gujarat. Rao alleged that Gandhi was “following the same direction” that Khilji and Aurangzeb travelled on.
“Gandhi’s visits to temples is a drama. Gandhi is trying to mislead the people by embarking on temple visits, which has become a compulsion for the Congress vice president in view of the elections,” the BJP leader said.
“Aurangzeb (a Mughal emperor) had destroyed many temples during his rule. However, when the common people opposed him, he promised to build two-three temples. Alauddin Khalji did the same…And now Rahul Gandhi is going in the same direction,” GVL added.
