BJP president Rajnath Singh on Sunday compared the party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi with Lord Rama.
"As Manthara in the Ramayana hatched a conspiracy to prevent Rama from becoming the king of Ayodhya, similarly the Congress is hatching a conspiracy against Modi," Rajnath Singh told a public rally in Ranchi.
"But despite Manthara's conspiracy, Rama became the king. Similarly, Modi will become the prime minister," he added to loud cheers.
The Bharatiya Janata Party leader added: "Modi will emerge more stronger if more conspiracies are hatched against him."
