News18 Hindi · india
Ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh elections, a political debate has erupted over Lord Ram and Lord Shiva. Telangana CM Revanth Reddy stated that Lord Ram is a deity of the rich, while Lord Shiva is for the poor, suggesting the BJP has 'hijacked' Lord Ram. BJP leaders accused Congress of attempting to divide Hindu society and the religion itself. This statement is seen as a strategic move by Congress to counter the BJP's Hindutva narrative by appealing to the masses through Shaivite traditions.
