Tumhare purvaj bhi Jai Shri Ram wale the’: Jharkhand BJP MLA to Congress’ Irfan Ansari

In a video that has gone viral on social media, BJP MLA CP Singh asked Congress legislator Irfan Ansari to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’ outside the Jharkhand Assembly. Reacting to the incident, Congress Spokesperson Rajesh Thakur said Singh “is politicising Lord Ram, who is he to do that? People shout ‘Jai Shri Ram’ with devotion and trust not for pretence.”

The incident took place outside the assembly premises when the two legislators were talking to the media. Ansari told a reporter after ‘Jai Shri Ram’ Chants were raised in the assembly that as elections are nearing the BJP was hiding behind these chants when the there are no jobs in the state. Singh then asked Ansari to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram.’ “Main to keh raha hoon ki Irfan Bhai ek baar jor se lagayein: Jai Shri Ram (I am saying Irfan Bhai that you chant Jai Shri Ram).”
