Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan has reiterated his firm stance on protecting Sanatana Dharma, asserting that any insult to it will be met with a strong response. Speaking at a public meeting in Ballarpur during his campaign for the BJP alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly elections, Kalyan emphasized the importance of respecting all religions while defending the Hindu faith.
“We follow Sanatana Dharma and respect everyone, regardless of religion. However, if Sanatana Dharma is insulted, we will respond appropriately,” said Kalyan, addressing a gathering ahead of the state elections. He also praised the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) for its significant role in shaping India’s growth. “India could not have reached where it is today without the support of RSS,” Kalyan added.
The Maharashtra elections, scheduled for the day after tomorrow, are witnessing a direct contest between the Mahayuti alliance, comprising BJP, Shiv Sena, and the Nationalist Congress Party, and the Maha Vikas Aghadi, which includes Congress, Uddhav Shiv Sena, and the Nationalist Congress (SP). Raj Thackeray’s Nava Nirman Sena, Bahujan Samaj, and Vanchit Bahujan Aaghadi parties are also contesting separately.
Kalyan, who leads the Jana Sena Party in Andhra Pradesh, expressed his commitment to the development of both Maharashtra and Sanatana Dharma. “India is currently the fifth-largest economy, and the NDA government is working tirelessly to elevate it to the third position. We must ensure this progress continues,” he said, urging voters to support the right candidates in the upcoming elections.
Having recently contested the Andhra Pradesh Assembly elections in alliance with the National Democratic Alliance, Kalyan reiterated his strong Hindutva views and announced plans to launch a new initiative called the Narasimha Varahi Pada within his party to further promote the values of Sanatana Dharma.
