New Delhi:
Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, whose party has lengthy assailed the ruling BJP for entwining politics and faith, used to be on Friday noticed exhorting other people to chant ‘Jai Mata Di‘ from a level in Jammu.
“Jai Mata Di,” he used to be heard pronouncing, relatively tepidly with a grin, and on apparently no longer receiving the specified response, he went “Boliye, boliye (Say, say)” sooner than repeating the Hindu chant somewhat louder and getting a greater reaction.

On a two-day consult with to Jammu, the 51-year-old travelled to the Vaishno Devi shrine from Katra on foot on Thursday.
In movies, the Congress MP used to be noticed strolling briskly along pilgrims at the 14-km stretch resulting in the shrine, surrounded through safety staff. Congress employees conserving up party flags coated the pathway.
“I’ve come right here to supply prayers to the Mata (mom goddess). I do not wish to make any political feedback right here,” Rahul Gandhi informed newshounds who chased him to the shrine. The media used to be no longer allowed to take their cameras.
The Congress posted movies through which the MP used to be noticed interacting with pilgrims.
That is his 2nd consult with to Jammu and Kashmir because the abrogation in August 2019 of Article 370, which gave particular standing to the previous state. Jammu and Kashmir used to be divided into two territories.
Critics have pointed to a marked uptick within the Congress chief’s show of religiosity forward of key elections with strikes reminiscent of temple visits and disclosures through aides of his Brahmin ancestry.
Some just like the Communist Party of India-Marxist, which has discovered itself allying with the Congress in different fronts on the centre and in state elections regardless of being opponents in Kerala, has prior to now labelled those efforts as “cushy Hindutva” and a feeble effort fit the BJP.
