Rahul goes to Dalit houses for honeymoon: Ramdev
Lucknow, Apr 25 (PTI) Triggering yet another
controversy, yoga guru Ramdev today alleged Congress
vice-president Rahul Gandhi goes to the houses of Dalits for
honeymoon and picnic.
"He goes to Dalits house for honeymoon and picnic. Had he
married a dalit girl, then his luck could have clicked and he
would have become the Prime Minister," Ramdev said at a
programme here.
He said unlike Rahul, Narendra Modi and Ramdev have
not become "fakir" (single) under compulsion.
"Us bechare ki bhi kismat kharab hai (Rahul is unlucky)",
Ramdev said.
"His (Rahul's) mother says that if you marry a foreigner
girl, then you cannot become the PM and this boy does not want
to marry an Indian girl. His mother wants that first he
becomes the PM and then marry a foreigner", he added.
Later, in a damage-control exercise, Ramdev claimed he
did not make the remarks in a negative sense and was willing
to withdraw them if they have hurt the Dalit sentiments.
Earlier refuting Congress's allegations that he was
campaigning for BJP in his yoga camps, Ramdev claimed his
camps were "apolitical".
"My yoga camps are apolitical... We do not appeal for
votes in these camps... Airing views through the media is my
constitutional right," Ramdev told reporters here.
Ramdev said he would go to Amethi on April 30 and
claimed Rahul Gandhi would not be able to win Lok Sabha
elections from there this time.
"Rahul will not win elections. It's 100 per cent
certain... This time, BJP's Smriti Irani will win from Amethi.
Kumar Vishwas (of AAP) has sowed the seeds against Rahul there
(in Amethi) and Irani will get its benefit," he claimed.
On Priyanka Gandhi, Ramdev said that when it came to
her husband's matter she said her family was being humiliated
but what was happening when "I was targeted and 1,000 cases
were lodged against me".
