Meet Pandit Rahul Gandhi, After Being Janeudahari Pandit, Rahul Gandhi Now a Descendant of Parashuram

As the long time Congress throne heir apparent Rahul Gandhi formally takes charge today from his mother Sonia Gandhi, enthusiasm in his constituency Amethi has hit the ball out of the park.

Reinstating that the 47-year-old leader is a devout Hindu, party workers have erected posters in Amethi, calling Rahul Gandhi a descendant of Parashurama and a Lord Shiva devotee (shivbhakt).

For the uninitiated, Parashurama was the sixth avatar of Lord Vishnu in the realms of Hinduism.

PANDIT, WHO?

Beckoning the controversy that erupted over his religion after the Somnath Temple visit in Gujarat, the poster finds Rahul Gandhi’s name prefixed with Pandit.




Having interned under his mother for the past four years as the Congress’ number 2, Rahul Gandhi looks ready to take over the mantle along-with a few changes in the party’s political outlook to stump BJP.

This also comes in tow after Congress was humbled by BJP in its family bastion of Amethi in the recently concluded civic polls, losing by over a 1,000 votes.
