BJP and Shiv Sena demand apology from Congress’s Nana Patole for comparing Rahul Gandhi to Lord Ram, sparking political and religious tensions.
On January 1, 2026, BJP and Shiv Sena leaders demanded an apology from Congress’s Nana Patole after he compared Rahul Gandhi to Lord Ram, calling the remarks offensive to Hindu sentiments, especially after President Droupadi Murmu’s visit to the Ayodhya temple.
The BJP highlighted the Congress’s past stance in the Supreme Court denying historical proof of Ram, while Shiv Sena’s Sanjay Nirupam accused the party of opposing the temple and likened it to Ravana.
Patole defended his comments, saying the comparison was coincidental and based on Gandhi’s work for the oppressed and his Bharat Jodo Yatra, not a divine claim.
The controversy underscores deepening political tensions over religious symbolism in India.
