Rahul should introspect: Anil Shastri
Vyas Peethadheeshwar of Naimisharanya and famous tantric religious leader Anil Shastri said that Rahul Gandhi comes from a royal family, he should himself think that the king's thoughts should not be about any particular caste. If this is so then the king is ineligible. Rahul Gandhi is an MP, his statement like this is condemnable.

Hindus became legally violent-Gopal Shastri
