"Difficult for country to have Prime Minister like him": Spiritual leader Dhirendra Shastri praises PM Modi

New Delhi [India], October 15 (ANI): Spiritual leader Bageshwar Dham Sarkar Acharya Dhirendra Krishna Shastri on Wednesday praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and said that it is difficult for the country to have a Prime Minister like him, who thinks only about India progress and has a bold vision for the nation future.

Shastri said that his relationship with the Prime Minister is very cordial, like that of brothers.

In an interview with ANI, Dhirendra Shastri said, Theyre very cordial, as a brother. It very difficult for the country to have a Prime Minister like him. I am saying this because he thinks only for the country. India vision of Mission 2047 is unprecedented. Entering the enemy home and killing them is unprecedented. He talks about Ram and Rashtra. He talks about khel and Rail. He talks about chai and gaay...

Shastri also emphasised that he does not align with any political party, adding that all parties belong to us because Hindus are present in every one of them.

He also highlighted his good relations with the Congress party, mentioning that Kamal Nath organised one of his Katha events in Chhindwara and that he maintains a good connection with Digvijaya Singh.

... No political party in this country has taken the contract of Hindutva... We have no alignment with any party; all political parties are ours because there are Hindus in all parties. My relations with Congress are very good. Kamal Nath ji organised our Katha in Chhindwara. I have very good connections with Digvijaya Singh, the Spiritual leader said.

Shastri responded his remarks regarding West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, and said that if permission is not granted, they will visit Bengal when there is a change of power in the state.

He emphasised their determination to go to Bengal but did not specify the timing, stating, We said we will go to Bengal, we did not say when we will go.

... We said Didi (Mamata Banerjee), if you dont give the permission, well come when Dada comes. Let me say one thing: we will go to Bengal. We said we will go to Bengal, we did not say when we will go, he said.

Earlier, Shastri stated that he would not visit Bengal for his Katha as long as Mamata Banerjee remains the Chief Minister, despite his earlier plans to do so. He said that Didi (Mamata Banerjee) refused to grant him permission, and as a result, he wont visit until Didi is no longer in power. He added that he will come only when Dada takes charge.

Shastri was scheduled to hold his Hanuman Katha in Kolkata from October 10 to 12, but permission was denied, reportedly due to heavy rains. (ANI)
