Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Monday said the name of Lord Ram should not be used to create unrest and anger.
Gehlot said he wondered what the country's future would be if such an environment is created by taking the god's name and raising slogans.
Prior to his reply on the Appropriation Bill-2019 in the Rajasthan Assembly, Gehlot said, "Lord Indra has blessed us. I hope I can say this and you (BJP) have not owned him."
He said, "You have owned Jai Shri Ram. I chanted it but be it members of the ruling party or Opposition everyone was happy when I chanted Lord Ram's name. It is unfortunate that you start owning him just as you did with Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Patel and Ambedkar ji. It is wrong."
