In an attempt to praise Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat made a statement that did not sit well with the Congress party, sparking a political controversy. The Union minister, as per reports, compared a book written about PM Modi to the holy book of Bhagavad Gita.
While addressing a gathering in Jaipur, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said that the book on PM Narendra Modi will be as important to the youth of the country as the Bhagavad Gita. The book he was referring to is called 'Modi@20: Dreams Meet Delivery'.
In a gathering with several BJP workers in attendance, the union minister said, “I can tell you with full confidence that for future generations, this book will become as important and holy as the sermons delivered by Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita.”
As the video clip of the address by Shekhawat went viral on social media, BJP’s rival party Congress hit out at the minister, accusing him of “polluting the path of religion.” The viral video has sparked mixed reactions from the netizens.
