The controversy originated from Mr Gandhi's recent remarks during the 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' in Uttar Pradesh. Mr Gandhi took a swipe at the BJP, specifically criticising the 'Pran Pratishtha' event held at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya last month. The Congress leader claimed the grand consecration ceremony, attended by a host of Bollywood celebrities and billionaires, was not attended by anyone from the OBC, Dalit or tribal communities, who comprise 73 per cent of the country's population.
"Frustrated by constant rejections by Indians, Rahul Gandhi has sunk to a new low of demeaning India's pride Aishwarya Rai," the BJP's Karataka state unit said in a statement. "A fourth-generation dynast, with zero achievements, now resorts to slurs against Aishwarya Rai, who has brought more glory to India than Rahul Gandhi's entire family."
