Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge's recent remarks during a rally in Janjgir-Champa, Chhattisgarh, comparing a Congress candidate, Shivkumar Dahariya, favorably with Lord Ram, have sparked a significant controversy. Kharge stated, 'Our candidate name is Shivkumar Dahariya. He can compete equally with Lord Ram. I am Mallikarjun. Main bhi Shiv hoon.' BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla and UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath criticized the Congress for attempting to divide Hindu deities and continuing a legacy of 'divide and rule,' targeting Hindu society on caste and linguistic lines. Adityanath emphasized that Lord Ram and Lord Shiva are not different, noting that Ram worshipped Shiva, and both deities complement each other.
