Opening with the ‘Ramcharitmanas’ verse “jaaki rahi bhavna jaisi, prabhu murat dekhi tin taisi” (In whichever way one chooses to perceive the Lord, in that very form the Lord appears to him) Yogi’s tweet further said “If bulldozing the criminals and extremists is hatred, then yes! It will continue.”

It said Rahul must read the harmonious history of Gorakshapeeth before commenting on Yogi and added that pursuing a divisive policy was the tradition of the Congress.
