Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday gave flying kisses to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders who chanted “Jai Shri Ram” and raised “Modi, Modi” slogans in front of the Wayanad MP during the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Assam.
“Our ‘Mohabbat ki dukaan’ (shop of love) is open to everyone. ‘Judega Bharat, Jeetega Hindustan’,” said Gandhi in a post on X while sharing a video of the incident. Later, while addressing a public meeting in Assam, Gandhi narrated the incident and said the Congress is neither scared of Prime Minister Narendra Modi nor Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
सबके लिए खुली है मोहब्बत की दुकान,

“Some 2-3 kms before, around 20-25 BJP workers carrying sticks came in front of our bus, and when I came out from the bus, they ran away…they think that the Congress is scared of BJP and RSS workers.” “What kind of dream are they seeing? They can tear as many posters and placards as they want, we don’t care and are not bothered. We are not scared of anybody, we are neither scared of Narendra Modi nor the chief minister here,” he said.
Earlier in the day, the Congress asserted that BJP workers in Assam attacked senior party leader Jairam Ramesh’s vehicle during the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. However, the BJP asserted that Gandhi was startled when the slogans “Jai Shri Ram” and “Modi, Modi” were chanted in his presence.
“If this is how rattled he is, how will he face the people of this country in days ahead, after the anti-Hindu Congress rejected the invite to be part of the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ (January 22 Ram temple consecration ceremony ) in Ayodhya?” BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya said on X tagging the video.
BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala said some people chanted “‘Jai Shri Ram’ and ‘Modi, Modi” during the yatra “so Rahul Gandhi arrogantly charges at them”.
