‘His knowledge limited to Baa Baa Black Sheep’: BJP slams Rahul Gandhi over ‘Jai Siya Ram’ remarks

Bhopal: State Home Minister Narottam Mishra on Saturday, December 3, 2022, hit out at Congress MP Rahul Gandhi over his statement, questioning why the BJP and RSS chant `Jai Shri Ram` instead of `Jai Siya Ram`. 

Addressing a press conference in Bhopal on Saturday, Mishra said, "I think Rahul Gandhi`s knowledge is only limited to the children`s rhyme `Baa Baa Black Ship`. The name of Ram is prefixed with `Shri`. `Shri` is also used for Lord Vishnu`s wife Lakshmi and Sita ji."

"Since Rahul Gandhi has neither brothered to read the `Ramayana` or the `Geeta`, he should at least browse on the internet for a description of the prefix `Shri`. He must have picked up something told by a temple priest, who prepared a cake and got it cut by (former Madhya Pradesh chief minister) Kamal Nath," Mishra said.
