In India two months after being forced to skip Jaipur Literary Festival, controversial author Salman Rushdie on Saturday hit out a Congress, suggesting that his presence there was blocked because of “useless electoral calculations” and told Rahul Gandhi that “it did not work”.
The renowed author, who has been castigated by fundamentalist Muslim groups for his book ‘The Satanic Verses’, said blocking his presence in Jaipur “led the Congress party down the road” in Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
