Motihari (Bihar) [India], October 30 (ANI): Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Thursday criticised Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's remarks on Chhath Puja and said that the comments are a "grave insult" to India's culture and women's power.
Dhami attended an election rally in support of the BJP candidate from Kalyanpur Assembly constituency in Motihari, East Champaran district of Bihar. 
Speaking to ANI, Dhami alleged that Rahul Gandhi mocks the Sanatan culture and Chhathi Maiyya through his appeasement politics.
"This country is governed by civilisation, values, and culture, and Rahul Gandhi lacks all three. He doesn't even know how to respect his elders. From opposing the Prime Minister, he has now begun to oppose the country itself. Through his appeasement politics, he mocks the Sanatan culture, Chhathi Maiya. This is a grave insult to our culture and our women's power. The people of Bihar will surely take revenge in the upcoming elections...," CM Dhami said.   
Earlier today, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi alleged that there are "two Indias"; one which pretends that the Yamuna is clean by making a separate pond for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while on the other side, the pollution of the river had been evident.
"There are two Indias. During the Chhath Puja, PM Modi decided to take a bath in the Yamuna. On one side, there is the reality of India and Bihar, where the Yamuna is polluted, and on the other side, PM Modi built a small pond of clean water. Clean water was brought from pipes so that PM Modi could take a bath in it," Gandhi said while addressing a rally in Bihar's Nalanda.
On Wednesday too in Bihar's Darbhanga, Rahul Gandhi said that the Prime Minister has "nothing to do with Chhath Puja," claiming he took a dip in his "swimming pool" rather than the River Yamuna in Delhi.
He said, "There's no Yamuna there; there's a pond there. Narendra Modi went to bathe in his swimming pool. He has nothing to do with the Yamuna. He has nothing to do with Chhath Puja.
"This came after the Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi alleged that the BJP government created "fake Yamuna" for PM Modi to take a dip during Chhath Puja.
"Rekha Gupta's government created a fake Yamuna at Vasudev Ghat for making Reels and Videos. Filtered water from the Ganga was poured into it, and it was claimed that the Yamuna had been cleaned," AAP wrote on X on Tuesday. (ANI)
