With assembly elections soon to be held in Haryana, political leaders from various parties have hit the campaign trail. In this context, Congress MP Kumari Selja appeared as a guest for an interview with journalist Ajit Anjum on YouTube. <\/span><\/p>\n

During the conversation, while speaking about the inauguration and foundation stone laying of projects, she criticised the BJP’s promises. Selja remarked, “You should also look at those inaugurations to see how much has actually been completed. They don’t even spare the Ram temple; they inaugurate half of it, and Ram keeps dripping from it during the monsoon… Forget about these things, all their claims have proven to be false.” This specific part of the interview, especially her use of the phrase ‘Ram tapakna\u2019 (dripping) has been widely shared, with claims that the Congress leader insulted the Hindu god Lord Ram using offensive language.<\/span><\/p>\n

The video was shared by the official Haryana BJP X handle, which described Selja’s remarks as a reflection of Congress’s hatred towards the Hindu deity Ram. The post stated, “Congress has always insulted Lord Shri Ram Ji. Such language towards Shri Ram Ji is not only an insult to the Hindu faith but also an insult to all Shri Ram devotees.” (<\/span>Archived link<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n
