Rahul Gandhi’s Name In The Register Meant For Non-Hindus At Somnath Temple

In what appears to be a major goof-up, Rahul Gandhi’s display of ‘soft Hindutva’ by visiting temples in Gujarat to garner Hindu votes seems to have backfired on him. On a visit to the famed Somnath temple in Saurashtra, his name appeared on the entry register meant for non-Hindus.
While media reports are clamouring to say that Gandhi has “declared himself” to be a non-Hindu, the Times of India has reported that it was an error due to the Congress party’s media coordinator Manoj Tyagi. Tyagi had allegedly entered Gandhi’s name in the register while entering Rajya Sabha MP Ahmed Patel’s name.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
