A poster portraying Congress President Rahul Gandhi as Lord Ram is grabbing eyeballs in Bihar's Patna. Congress's 'Jan Aakansha Rally’ is scheduled on February 3 and local Congress workers have put up posters for the event. The rally is expected to be addressed by Rahul Gandhi and top party leaders.

The poster also features top Congress leaders, including Sonia Gandhi, newly-appointed party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and others.

“He (Rahul Gandhi) has all the qualities of Lord Ram and not Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is only doing politics in the name of Lord Ram,” a 67-year-old Congress worker, Vijay Kumar, who allegedly put the poster, said as quoteb by Zee News.

Reacting to the posters, BJP on Tuesday accused the main opposition party of ''doublespeak'' and said that ''sycophancy is the supreme conduct of Congressmen.''

BJP's national spokesperson Sambit Patra asked the Congress party to first clear its stand on the Ram temple issue before embracing the deity.

ये है पटना में कांग्रेस का poster कांग्रेसियों का एक ही ध्येय-“चाटुकारीता परमो धर्मा” पहले राम के अस्तित्व को नकारो फिर श्री राम की तरह राहुल को सँवारो। ..चलो श्री राम तो बन गए ..ये तो बताओ कांग्रेसियों..आज जो सुप्रीम कोर्ट में केंद्र सरकार ने अर्ज़ी दिया है,उसपे क्या कहना है? pic.twitter.com/0DrdbILYJn — Sambit Patra (@sambitswaraj) January 29, 2019

“This is the Congress’ poster in Patna. Sycophancy is the supreme conduct for Congressmen. First, refute the existence of Lord Ram, then dress Rahul like Shri Ram. Good that (you) became Shri Ram. So tell Congressmen, what is your stand on Centre’s plea to SC on Ayodhya tangle?” Patra said in a tweet.

Last year, in September 2018, when Rahul Gandhi was scheduled to begin his party's campaign for Madhya Pradesh Assembly Elections, posters portraying him as 'Shiv Bhakt Rahul Gandhi' were seen in the Bhopal.

Similarly, in September 2018, a poster put up by some Congress workers depicted Rahul Gandhi as a 'Brahmin'.
