Hardik Patel Gandhinagar/IBNS: Gujarat Patidar leader Hardik Patel who recently quit the Congress on Tuesday slammed the party leadership for their derogatory and hateful remarks against "Hindus and Lord Ram".
Patel took to Twitter to take a dig at former Gujarat Congress President who allegedly said dogs had urinated on bricks being used for building the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
"I had said earlier too that the Congress party works to hurt the sentiments of the people, always trying to damage the faith of the Hindu religion. Today, a former Union minister and Gujarat Congress leader made a statement that dogs urinate on the bricks of Ram temple," Patel tweeted.
"I want to ask Congress and its leaders what enmity do you have against Lord Shri Ram? Why hate Hindus so much? After centuries, a temple of Lord Shri Ram is also being built in Ayodhya, yet the leaders of Congress keep making statements against Lord Ram," he further said in another tweet.
Patel quit the Congress last week, months ahead of the state elections in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's backyard Gujarat.
In his resignation letter, he took a swipe at the Congress leadership including Rahul Gandhi.
"When I met top leaders, they seemed distracted by their mobile phones and other issues as opposed to listening to issues concerning Gujarat," Patel had said.
"Senior leaders in Gujarat are more interested in ensuring that visiting leaders get their chicken sandwiches than engaging with people during yatras," he wrote.
