Recent temple visits by Congress President Rahul Gandhi do not indicate any change in the party’s strategy as his father and grandmother too had offered prayers in shrines, Karnataka state unit chief G Parameshwara said on Wednesday. “Indiraji (Indira Gandhi) and Rajivji (Rajiv Gandhi) used to visit Sringeri swami.. Indiraji also visited many temples in Karnataka… There is no change in our and Rahulji’s strategy,” the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee President told PTI.
He was replying to a question whether Rahul Gandhi’s visits to temples during the Gujarat assembly polls, his assertion that he and his family members were Shiv Bhakts (devotees of Lord Shiva) and reports that he planned to meet religious heads in Karnataka indicated any perceptible change in the party’s poll strategy.
