New Delhi, Dec 27: Congress leader and former Union Minister Salman Khurshid on Monday compared Rahul Gandhi to Lord Ram, Congress to `Bharat’, and likened the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ to the epic Ramayana on Monday.
Lord Ram's 'khadau' goes very far. Sometimes when Ram ji is not able to reach, Bharat takes the 'khadau' and goes to places. Like that, we have carried the 'khadau' in UP. Now that 'khadau' has reached UP, Ram ji (Rahul Gandhi) will also come: Congress leader Salman Khurshid pic.twitter.com/vuAQmsvQYG

During the Bharat Jodo Yatra, Salman Khurshid said, “Rahul Gandhi is superhuman. While we are freezing in the cold and wearing jackets, he is going out in T-shirts. He is like a yogi doing his ‘tapasya’ with focus”.
“Lord Ram’s ‘khadau’ goes very far. Sometimes when Ram ji is not able to reach, Bharat takes the ‘khadau’ and goes to places. Like that, we have carried the ‘khadau’ in Uttar Pradesh. Now that ‘khadau’ has reached Uttar Pradesh. Ram ji (Rahul Gandhi) will also come,” he added.
Earlier, wearing a T-shirt on a chilling December morning, with his security personnel seen wearing suits and other Congress leaders wearing jackets and mufflers, Rahul Gandhi visited Veer Bhumi, Shakti Sthal and Shanti Van, the memorials of former prime ministers Rajiv Gandhi, Indira Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru respectively.
