New Delhi, Oct 31 (NationPress) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP and prominent campaigner Manoj Tiwari launched a fierce critique against the Mahagathbandhan on Friday, claiming the Opposition coalition has been continuously insulting the faith and cultural feelings of Hindus. He asserted that politics cannot thrive on the basis of damaging people’s religious convictions.

Before commencing his roadshow in Khagaria, Tiwari remarked, 'No one can engage in politics by undermining anyone's faith. The Mahagathbandhan is disrespecting religious sentiments, belittling the Ram Temple, Lord Krishna’s Mathura, Kashi, and the Sanatan faith. I want to question Tejashwi Yadav about whether he will now disassociate himself from Rahul Gandhi regarding his comments on Chhath as a 'drama.'

The actor-turned-politician, who has a strong connection with Bihar's cultural heritage, added that he had personally advised Bhojpuri actor Khesari Lal Yadav 'not to oppose the Ram Temple.' 'Khesari is like a younger brother to me, and he will always hold a special place in my heart,' he expressed, urging him to side with the people's faith rather than those who disrespect it.

Tiwari condemned the Opposition’s alleged efforts to ridicule Hindu beliefs, stating, 'The Mahagathbandhan consistently disrespects our temples and traditions. They are not only dishonoring the faith of millions of Hindus but also toying with the essence of India. I call upon the people of Bihar to safeguard and uphold Bihar’s culture and faith.'

Discussing his ongoing campaign, the BJP MP mentioned that adverse weather had caused some travel interruptions but expressed gratitude for the overwhelming online response.

'I couldn’t be physically present in Banka and Purnea yesterday, so I reached out to the public via Facebook. Surprisingly, that address has already garnered over 600,000 views. The enthusiasm for the NDA is palpable, and the Prime Minister will be visiting shortly,' he noted.

Reaffirming that Nitish Kumar remains the NDA’s chief ministerial candidate, Tiwari clarified, 'From day one, Nitish Kumar has been the NDA’s CM face. Every leader formally supports this through the legislative party and organizational process. This is a democratic and constitutional procedure; whoever leads our alliance will become the Chief Minister, and the legislative party will officially elect that individual through due process.'

In conclusion, the BJP leader urged voters: 'The people of Bihar have always cherished faith, unity, and progress. We implore the people of Bihar to protect and nurture Bihar, rather than fracture it.'
