During the campaign for the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly elections, the former union minister and Congress veteran Dr. C. P. Joshi said a sharp attack on the BJP saying who gave them this right that they should tell that Congressmen are not Hindus. Joshi said that if someone knows about religion then he is a Pandit and a Brahmin only.

"He says that a Congressman cannot be a Hindu, who gave him the right to issue such a certificate? Has he opened a university?"

 C. P. Joshi further said in this gathering, "Uma Bharati is a Lodhi and she talks about Hindu religion, Modi talks about Hindu religion, only Brahmins who do not talk about it. Religion and governance are two different things, everybody has the right to obey their religion. "
