Why did he raise questions on Mamata Banerjee's politics?

Rambhadracharya said that the policies of the government in West Bengal are focused on pleasing a particular section. He alleged that the issues and concerns of the Hindu society have been pushed to the back burner and the entire politics has become limited to electoral gains only.

Why was there controversy over the “sister” statement?

Reiterating his earlier statement, Rambhadracharya said that he can no longer call Mamata Banerjee as “sister”. He had earlier said that Mamata has now become the “sister of traitors”. There was controversy regarding this statement earlier also and now the discussion regarding it has intensified again.

What did you want to say by mentioning history?

In his statement, Rambhadracharya mentioned some names from history and said that those who had committed atrocities on Hindus in the past cannot have anything to do with those who support his ideology. He said that due to this mentality the situation is worsening today.

What did he clarify on the issue of Babar and mosque?

Rambhadracharya said that he has no objection to the construction of any mosque, but according to him Babar was an invader and it is not right to build a mosque in his name. He called it not an issue of faith but of history and respect.

What is the political impact of the statements?

After these statements, the stir in political circles has increased. Supporters are calling it the voice of Hindu society, while opponents are calling it election rhetoric. More sharp reactions are likely to emerge on this issue in the coming days.
