In Jaipur, Rajasthan, Jagadguru Rambhadracharya expressed his support for Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's slogan "batenge toh katenge" (divided we perish). He emphasized the importance of unity among Hindus, stating that while sects may differ, all Hindus should stand together. He likened unity to a strong fist, as opposed to a weak single finger.
Yogi Adityanath had introduced this slogan during a campaign rally in Maharashtra, and it was followed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's slogan "ek hai toh safe hai" (if united, we are safe).
Jagadguru also responded to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge's comments on "Sadhus" in politics. He argued that those who wear the 'Bhagwa' (saffron) should engage in politics, as it is a color associated with divinity. He referenced Shivaji, who united the nation under the Bhagwa flag, and criticized the notion that only those in suits should participate in politics.
Kharge, speaking at an election rally in Maharashtra, criticized leaders who, in his view, disguise themselves as sadhus to enter politics. He accused Yogi Adityanath of spreading hatred with his slogan and suggested that those in 'gerua' (saffron) should leave politics.
