Political leaders from Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh have launched sharp attacks on Baba Bageshwar following his controversial comments regarding Lord Ram and Lord Krishna.
The controversy surrounding Baba Bageshwar, also known as Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, has escalated into a significant political debate in central India. The dispute centers on his recent remarks concerning Lord Ram and Lord Krishna, which have drawn sharp criticism from opposition leaders despite any prior apologies.
Former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Digvijay Singh, has not held back in his response, labeling Baba Bageshwar as a 'fool' (mookh) in strong terms. This verbal attack highlights the intensity of the political friction surrounding the religious figure's statements.
Adding to the political heat, current Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel of Madhya Pradesh made a provocative suggestion regarding the spiritual leader's mental state. Baghel remarked that Baba Bageshwar is a 'chemical addict' and advised that he should undergo a rabies test, a comment that has further inflamed the discourse.
The incident underscores the sensitivity of religious figures in Indian politics, where comments on deities can quickly transform into major political controversies involving state-level leadership.
