The controversy over Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s statement on the Mahakumbh is not taking the name of stopping, but despite this many senior Congress leaders took a dip of faith in the confluence in Prayagraj. Now everyone’s eyes are on what the Gandhi family will take on this issue.
Controversy arose from Kharge’s statement
During a rally, Kharge questioned, “Can bathing in the Ganges be eradicated by the country?” However, he also clarified that his intention was not to hurt anyone’s feelings and this comment was in the context of the BJP’s criticism. Despite this, a big controversy arose over his statement.
Congress leaders showed a different stand
Even after Kharge’s statement, many Congress leaders expressed faith in Mahakumbh. India alliance associate Akhilesh Yadav and his wife Dimple Yadav first came to bathe in Sangam. After this, senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh, his son, Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka D.K. Shivkumar and former Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan Sachin Pilot also arrived for a bath in Kumbh.
These leaders tried to convey the message that events related to Hindu faith could not be taken lightly. The party is no longer seen in the mood to repeat such mistakes after the Congress’s decision to keep a distance during the Pran Pratishthan ceremony of the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
Will Gandhi family also take a dip in the confluence?
Now the question is arising whether the Gandhi family will also go for a bath in Mahakumbh? There is silence on this within the Congress. However, in 2001, Sonia Gandhi was seen bathing at Sangam, when the BJP raised questions about her religion and identity.
Referring to the faith of Indira Gandhi’s Hindu faith, sources say that she always wore Rudraksha. In such a situation, what will be the next step of the Congress, everyone’s eyes are on it.
