We will make it a major issue in this election,” he told reporters.Prime Minister Modi also launched yet another blistering attack over Rahul Gandhi’s remarks, alleging those out to destroy “shakti” will be destroyed themselves.Addressing a rally in Salem, Tamil Nadu, on Tuesday, he alleged constituents of the INDIA bloc would never speak ill about any other faith, but would not lose a second in abusing the Hindu religion.Gandhi had on Monday clarified that he was not talking about any religious power but the ‘shakti’ of unrighteousness, corruption and falsehood.The Congress leader had accused Prime Minister Modi of twisting his words and said he was speaking about the power of which Modi was wearing the mask.Reacting to it, Prasad said it was not clear as to what Gandhi wanted to say in his clarification. “Denigrating and castigating Hindu gods, Hindu practices and Hindu ideals has become the biggest theme of the political campaign of the Congress these days”, the BJP leader charged.He said Gandhi has resorted to levelling baseless allegations against the Modi government as he does not get votes.
