text: Alastair Campbell famously said the Blair government ‘didn't do God’. But David Cameron and wife Samantha have made a colourful visit to a Sikh temple as part of a general election tour. The Prime Minister, wearing a traditional orange patka, and Mrs Cameron, in a blue headscarf, chatted and posed for selfies at the Gravesend Gurdwara in Kent earlier today. Scroll down for video . The Prime Minister and his wife joined worshippers at the Gravesend Gurdwara in Kent today in traditional Sikh dress . Mrs Cameron chatted with a young boy and his mother at the temple. The visit was designed to reach out to a wider community with just three weeks until the election . They briefly joined thousands of people in a parade carrying the Sikh holy book to the temple before Mr Cameron gave a speech. It comes just a day after the Conservative leader attended one of the largest gatherings of Christians in the UK. His speeches are designed to reach out to a wider community with just three weeks to go before voting. But as he was about to arrive at the temple today a senior priest apparently objected to prayers being interrupted. There were some heated scenes before the address was moved to a side room. The Tory leader told the audience the Vaisakhi festival, which is one of the most important events in the Sikh calendar, was a 'big, bold' sign of their devotion. He said: 'I wanted to make sure Downing Street was part of this too and I'm proud to be the first Prime Minister to host a Vaisakhi reception at Number 10.

He told the 45,000-strong audience: 'It is an honour to be here and I'm proud of this festival which started as a camp just off the Lagos expressway and set the world alight. 'I believe in aspiration. I believe the only limit to someone's potential is their own ambition and talent. 'I look out to this crowd and I see someone who will take my role and become Prime Minister for this great country. 'I hope you can hold off for a while just yet.' He added on Twitter later that night: 'It was an honour to address the Festival of Life - now a great British tradition - at midnight last night.' CLAIM: Jesse Norman and the chocolate cake he allegedly gave out while campaigning for re-election . Police are investigating a Tory MP over claims he attempted to bribe voters with chocolate cake. Jesse Norman allegedly gave out cake while campaigning for re-election at an Asda supermarket in his Hereford constituency. West Mercia Police last night said it was investigating reports of a breach of the Representation of the People Act 1983, which bans Election candidates from providing food, drink or entertainment in a bid to win votes. The probe follows would-be Ukip MP Kim Rose, who is standing in Southampton Itchen, being grilled by police for giving out sausage rolls at a party event earlier this year. Detectives are expected to speak to Mr Norman after he was photographed with trays of baked goods on April 2. He described the allegations as ‘nonsense’, saying: ‘We had a couple of small boxes of chocolate muffins ... we may have given out one or two to children, who are not even voters.’ COUNTRY LIFE: A 'beater' at work and below,  a bottle of Sipsmith Dry Gin . The Prime Minister indulged his love of country sports by taking part in a secret country shoot near his Oxfordshire constituency home. And he celebrated with a nip of a specially prepared ‘Chipping Norton’ cocktail. But witnesses say that David Cameron did not himself use a gun – despite his reputation as a skilled marksman. Instead, he acted as a ‘beater’ to flush out the game. The event took place on New Year’s Eve but until now has been kept a closely guarded secret. It took place near Chipping Norton, the Oxfordshire town which has given its name to the ‘Chipping Norton set’ of high-profile local residents from the world of politics, media and showbusiness such as Mr Cameron and Jeremy Clarkson. Last night, the man who served Mr Cameron the cocktail said other people on what he described as a ‘country walk’ had no idea there would be a VIP guest. Jared Brown, master distiller at the West London ‘artisanal’ gin company Sipsmith, said: ‘No one but the landowner knew the Prime Minister would be joining us.’ He fought shy of describing the event as a shoot, but added: ‘I can say with utter certainty that Mr Cameron did not handle a gun.’ Mr Brown confirmed, though, that the PM did sample the cocktail, based on Sipsmith London Dry Gin. Last night, the drink, also containing manuka honey, raspberry tea and extract of echinacea, was being dubbed the ‘Chipping Norton cocktail’.
