The senior BJP leader and former Uttarakhand chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat has reignited the Gandhi-Godse debate while lauding Nathuram Godse, the assign of Mahatma Gandhi, as a patriot. He was replying to reporters’ questions at the BJP Balia district headquarters in Uttar Pradesh. He said, “I have read Godse to understand him and my conclusion is that Godse was a patriot, too. Gandhiji’s assassination at the critical time of history is a different matter altogether. We have never supported it,” he said.
Taking a jibe at the Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Rawat said that the latter merely used the Gandhi surname. He also hit out at the Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal.
