Agni missile: Congress on Bhagwat's ‘man wants to be superman, devtaa, bhagwaan’ remark

New Delhi, July 18

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s remarks in Jharkhand on Thursday that human ambition knows no limits drew an “Agni missile” reference from the Congress.

Speaking at an event organised by an NGO Vikas Bharti in poll bound Jharkhand’s Gumla today, Bhagwat said “Is there ever an end to progress? Development is such a thing that once we attain it, we realise that we can go further. Once we reach our target we realise there is more to go… Man then wants to be a superman… in movies they show Superman who has extraordinary powers. So a human wants to attain such powers and he does not stop there. He then wants to become a Dev. But Devtas say Bhagwan is larger than us, so he wants to become Bhagwan,” Bhagwat said.

Reacting to Bhagwat’s comments that came amid signs of BJP and RSS tensions, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh, in a jibe at PM Narendra Modi, said ,”I am sure the self-anointed non-biological PM has got news of this latest Agni Missile, fired by Nagpur from Jharkhand and aimed at Lok Kalyan Marg.”
