Rahul
reveals his 'gotra' in Pushkar temple
Gandhi,
who had earlier said that he is a Lord Shiva devotee and a "janeu
dhari" Hindu and had been under continuous attack from the BJP to unveil
his caste identity, was asked about his gotra in Pushkar and he introduced
himself as Kaul Brahmin of Dattatreya gotra, and performed the puja.
The
priest said according to the temple records, Rahul Gandhi is a Kashmiri
Brahmin, and added: "Motilal Nehru, Jawaharlal Nehru and his family are
Kashmiri Pandits of Dattatreya gotra."
In the
register, he wrote: "I, Rahul Gandhi, son of Shri Rajiv Gandhi, am happy
to come to Pushkar for puja ceremony on 26/11/2018. After offering puja with
the help of our family priest (Dinnanath Kaul and Rajnath Kaul), I feel
contented and happy. I have prayed for peace and harmony in India and the
world."
At the
end of the document, Rahul Gandhi signed his name in English.
Speaking
to IANS, head priest of Brahma temple Pandit Krishna Gopal said: "Rahul
Gandhi visited temple offering his prayers. We told him you have everything,
name, fame, prosperity. Now we wish for your early marriage."
Earlier
in morning, he had also offered a "chadar" and flowers at the holy
Ajmer Sharif Dargah.
