A day after resigning from Congress party, Radhika Khera on Monday (6 May) alleged that during Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra Chhattisgarh Congress media chairman Sushil Anand Shukla misbehaved with her.
"He offered me alcohol. With five to six party workers, he used to knock the door of my room in inebriated condition. I informed Sachin Pilot, Jairam Ramesh and Pawan Khera but all ignored me," she said.
Khera alleged that she was ignored over not aligning with party's ant-Hindu ideology. She recalled visiting Ramlalla and putting a 'Jai Shri Ram' flag outside her house, after which "Congress party started hating" her.
"Whenever I posted photos or videos, I was scolded and asked why did I visit Ayodhya when elections were under process. I was stopped from debates because of speaking in favour of Hinduism," she added.
Khera said that she also called former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, who did not receive her call but called back and asked her to go ot of Chhattisgarh after she expressed desire to leave politics.
Attacking Rahul Gandhi, she said, "Even during the Nyay Yatra, Rahul Gandhi did not meet anyone. He used to come and wave at people for five minutes and went back to his trailer."
"His Nyay Yatra was for namesake, I think he just wants to become a travel vlogger and he was doing travel vlogging there," she said adding that Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also does not meet anyone.
