Kamal Nath holds Janmashtami celebrations at his residence

Thursday, 13 August 2020 | Staff Reporter | Bhopal

Having exhibited extraordinary enthusiasm during the foundation laying of Ram temple in Ayodhya on Aug 5, Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee chief Kamal Nath exhibited his devotion to lord Krishna by celebrating Krishna Janmashtami festival at his residence in Bhopal on Wednesday.

The BJP for obvious reasons has called it a pre-poll gimmick, while the Congress party has termed this adherence to Sanatan dharma.

MPCC chief Kamal Nath who is a known devotee of lord Hanuman, was among first leaders of the Congress party nationally who had greeted the foundation laying of Ram temple in Ayodhya that took place on Aug 5.

For the first time under his leadership, MPCC had opened gates to devotion and faith in full-fledged manner and celebrated the occasion in Bhopal with full fervour with slogans of Jai Sri Ram in highest possible pitch.

As the occasion of Krishna Janmashtami has arrived, now the MPCC chief hosted another celebration at his official residence in State capital by arranging Krishna Janmotsava and putting up a tableau. Ahead of Ram temple foundation laying, Nath’s residence had seen holding of Hanuman chalisa so was the case with several party leaders and workers.

However, ruling Bharatiya Janata party which had taken objection to ‘pretentious’ Ram temple devotion of Congress party, has again slammed the grand old party again with affinity to lord Krishna.

BJP Spokesperson Rajneesh Agrawal said that it was nothing but pretention and pre-poll gimmicks asking why the Congress party did not remember lord Ram and Krishna earlier. “The party which earlier talked about sacrifices of goat, iftar parties and appeasement politics has now painted itself saffron,” added Agrawal.

Congress spokesperson JP Dhanopia however claimed that it’s no pretention adding Kamal Nath has always been follower of Sanatan Dharma. Why the BJP leaders have problems, do they have patent on religion and God, asked Dhanopia.

The Congress party in accordance with the Sanatan Dharma tradition had undertook a purification drive against those who had deserted the party and ‘cheated the public’.
