Why turmoil over Rahul Gandhi's caste? | Samvidhan Ki Shapath

With issues like jobs and development taking a backseat, personal attacks and caste factor have become the focus of political parties during an intensive poll campaign for the upcoming assembly elections in five states. While Prime Minister Narendra Modi lashed out at the Congress party for remarks on his caste, the Congress has alleged the BJP was raking up caste and religion in its public rallies as it has nothing to offer.

Now on Monday, Congress President Rahul Gandhi has responded to the BJP's demand of declaring his 'gotra' (clan) and said he is a Kaul Brahmin and belongs to the Dattatreya gotra.
