Priests even claim that the Chinese attack on India in 1962 had only ceased after a ritual was done at a special request by then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and according to locals, similar rituals were performed during Indo-Pak wars in 1965 and 1971 and Kargil war in 2000.

We want to express my gratitude to Congress karyakartas who are the backbone of the party. We will form government that belongs to farmers and youth: Congress president Rahul Gandhi
PM has no room in his heart for oppressed and women. He has room only for industrialists. Nirav Bhai, Anil Bhai, Lalit Bhai, he never calls farmers and labourers 'Bhai'. Have you ever heard Modi ji calling poor 'Bhai'? Never. If he isn't in suit-boot, he isn't 'Bhai': Rahul Gandhi
Modi ji gave the slogan 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao'. We liked the slogan but then a BJP MLA raped someone. The CM tried to shield him, PM didn't expel him from the party. He never spoke about it. Actual slogan is 'Beti Padhao aur Beti ko BJP ke MLA se bachao.': Rahul Gandhi
PM Modi has stolen employment opportunities from the youth: Rahul Gandhi
HAL has protected the country for last 70 years by manufacturing various fighter aircrafts. But Modi govt snatched the Rafale deal from HAL and gave it to Reliance Defence who had no experience: Rahul Gandhi

I have personally appealed to PM Modi to waive off loans of farmers. Before farmers used to get bonus or compensation for crop loss. But PM Modi was silent, says Rahul Gandhi
During UPA govt, loans worth ₹70,000cr of farmers were waived off. Whereas Narendra Modi govt in last 4 years waived off loans worth ₹3,50,000Cr of only 15-20 rich industrialists: Rahul Gandhi
Yet, PM Modi in his August 15th speech says that there was no progress until he arrived. This is an insult to the people who have contributed their sweat and blood for this nation, says Rahul Gandhi
In last 70 years, India has progressed in such a way that former US President Barack Obama says that India is one of the main competitors of USA. This is the contribution of farmers, small businesses, youth and women, says Rahul Gandhi
