Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack at the Congress in Rajasthan, claiming that listening to Hanuman Chalisa becomes a crime under the party’s rule. Addressing a rally in Tonk-Sawai Madhopur, PM Narendra Modi claimed the Congress, which spearheaded the previous Rajasthan government, had banned Ram Navami in the state.
“In the rule of Congress, even listening to Hanuman Chalisa becomes a crime. Rajasthan has been its sufferer…For the first time on Ram Navami this time, a Shobha Yatra procession was taken out in Rajasthan…In a state like Rajasthan where people chant Ram-Ram, Congress banned Ram Navami,” PM Narendra Modi said.
In the rally, PM Modi mentioned an assault on a shopkeeper in Congress-ruled Karnataka for allegedly playing Hanuman Chalisa. “While talking to you today on Hanuman Jayanti, I remember a picture from a few days ago. A few days ago, in Congress-ruled Karnataka, a shopkeeper was brutally beaten up only because he was listening to Hanuman Chalisa while sitting in his shop,” PM Modi said.
