LUCKNOW: Accusing BJP of mocking Lord

Hanuman

, chairman of Congress party’s Kisan Khet

department Nanabhau Patole said that the

party is headed for trouble as everyone knows what happened to those who played mischief with Hanuman.

“ Hanuman ke peechhe jisne

lagai, uss Ravan ka hashr kya hua… poori lanka jal ke raakh ho gayi … Ab yeh log unki poonch mein aag lagane ko agey badhe hain… toh BJP ka bhi nuksan hone wala hai… yeh baat taye hai (Ravan ordered setting Hanuman’s tail on fire and entire Lanka was reduced to ashes. Now these people are taking same path and will meet same fate, this is sure),” he said on Monday.

Patole, a farmers’ leader who quit BJP and resigned from Lok Sabha following differences with the party on farmer issues, demonetisation and GST, also said that the day is not far when BJP leaders will humiliate Lord Ram as well. “They have already used Ram and played with people’s feeling for him for decades… Very soon, they will humiliate Ram also,” he said.

He also accused BJP of playing with religious sentiments of people to divert attention from real issues like agrarian crisis, unemployment, price rise and GST.

“Insan mar rahe hain aur yeh log bhagwan ke naam pe tamasha kar rahe hain… ye sirf asli muddon se bhatkana chahte hain (People are dying and they are playing politics in the name of gods to divert attention from real issues),” he said.
