Rahul Gandhi claimed in Madhya Pradesh that the RSS doesn’t scream “Jai Siya Ram” or “Jai Sita Ram” because “there is not a single woman in their organisation.” “Since Sita cannot attend their meeting, it is not a comfortable one. No women are allowed to attend. Sita was expelled, he continued.
The Congress scion recounted an event while speaking to a crowd in the Agar Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh. “In Madhya Pradesh, a pundit approached me and said, ‘Rahulji, Lord Ram was an ascetic. He lived a life of penance. Hey Ram was a phrase used by Gandhi ji. It was his catchphrase. The pundit then chanted Jai Siya Ram or Jai Sita Jai Ram as another rallying cry. Ram and Sita are the same person. Jai Siya Ram or Jai Sita Ram is the motto as a result. It indicates that we honour the location where Sita belongs because of what Ram accomplished for her, including travelling and fighting for her. The third slogan is “Jai Shri Ram,” which is used to honour Lord Ram.
The pandit then advised me to address why the BJP exclusively uses Jai Shri Ram and never Jai Siya Ram or Hey Ram in talks. It was really good, Rahul Gandhi said. They don’t because BJP-RSS supporters do not approach life with the same spirit as Lord Ram did. because Lord Ram did not treat anyone unfairly. He assisted everyone, worked to bring society together, and treated everyone with respect. The BJP-RSS supporters do not adhere to this philosophy or manner of life, he continued. “I wish to remind our RSS friends to salute Shri Ram. But they also need to say Hey Ram and Jai Siya Ram. Say all three while avoiding demeaning Sita ji.
