At a private event in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, Acharya Pramod Krishnam, the head of Kalki Dham, bly criticized Samajwadi Party president and former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav. He stated that the claims of the "two boys' jodi" (Rahul Gandhi-Akhilesh Yadav) in 2017 proved to be hollow. He emphasized that to gain power, one needs to connect with the people's hearts, not just through slogans. Pramod Krishnam warned that no government would survive on the basis of casteism and political equations, as the people of the state would no longer accept this kind of politics.
Questions on the Kanwar Yatra
Regarding the comments made about the Kanwar Yatra, Acharya Pramod Krishnam said that if people are disrespecting this religious penance and presenting it in a wrong way, it should be stopped. He directly asked Akhilesh to first consider how many Kanwariyas he had served or whose feet he had massaged during the month of Sawan. He praised Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, stating that he is the first Chief Minister who has respected the faith of the Kanwariyas and arranged for the showering of flowers on them.
Revival of Sanatan Dharma is Happening
Acharya Pramod Krishnam emphatically stated that the current time is one of nationalism and the re-establishment of Sanatan Dharma. He clarified that if anyone talks about eradicating Sanatan and at the same time dreams of gaining power, it is not possible. Religion and power do not go together. On the occasion of the beginning of the month of Sawan, he extended his best wishes for Shiv Abhishek to everyone and said that every follower of Sanatan Dharma should participate in this sacred ritual today.
Importance of Names - Respecting the Truth Hidden in Religion
Further into the program, he often emphasized the importance of names. He said that from birth to death, it is essential to write our name on every document – school, police station, voter list, passport. If someone wants to use faith to do business by hiding their name, they are deceiving the constitution, religion, nation, and the Supreme Being. The Acharya said that the edifice of religion cannot stand on lies, and those who do so are insulting religion.
Followers of Foreign Culture
Acharya Pramod Krishnam, criticizing Akhilesh Yadav, said that while his family may be religious, Akhilesh himself is influenced by foreign culture. He sent a clear message that for him and his party to truly become b, they must understand public sentiments and respect all sections and faiths, otherwise, they have failed to live up to the expectations of the people.
Targeting EDA-PDA
Pramod Krishnam termed the opposition alliance EDA-PDA as a conspiracy to divide Sanatan Dharma and Hindus. He expressed confidence that this effort would never succeed because the Lok Adalat (people's court) would once again hand over power to the BJP in 2027. During this time, he recalled that when Akhilesh Yadav was the Chief Minister, action was taken against saints and hermits, and the then government had also stopped the construction of Kalki Dham. He questioned: Where was Akhilesh at that time, when the fundamental building of faith was being demolished?
Acharya Pramod Krishnam's comments in Bulandshahr are not just a statement, but a clear indication of the upheaval of religion, faith, and power in the politics of Uttar Pradesh. He rejected the controversial model of running politics and religion together, while emphasizing the need to re-establish religion and culture. Given the sensitivity of the times, political frameworks are now being drawn not only on the basis of vote banks and caste but also on issues of faith, names, and identity. This debate could prove to be a catalyst in giving a new direction to the electoral atmosphere before the next elections in 2027.
