Hindu religious leaders have rallied in support of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent statement, “Ek Hai To Saif Hai” (If there is one, then there is Saif), emphasizing the need for unity within the Hindu community during elections. The saints, through a newly released video message, have appealed to Hindus to vote collectively for parties that prioritize Hindu interests and promote Sanatan Dharma.
Saints Advocate For Unified Hindu Voting Bloc
In a video message shared widely, a female saint called for a form of “vote jihad,” similar to the political solidarity exhibited by some Muslim communities. She urged Hindus to unite under the banner of Sanatan Dharma and vote as one bloc, setting aside caste divisions.
“We must unite and vote as one Sanatani community, just as Muslims unite and support a party that serves their interests,” the saint stated. She emphasized that Hindu voters should focus on supporting parties that promote their religious values, without allowing caste-based divisions to influence their choices.

Her message was clear: Hindus must vote for those who stand for the promotion of Sanatan Dharma and the welfare of the Hindu community. “Vote jihad is a reality among Muslims, where they vote as one for their community’s interests. Hindus must adopt the same strategy in our elections,” she said.
Appeal To Hindus: Vote For Pro-Hindu Parties
In another video, a prominent saint raised concerns about the ongoing elections in Maharashtra, highlighting what they described as an organized effort to sway Muslim votes against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This, the saint argued, was part of a broader attempt to mislead voters through vote jihad, urging Hindus not to fall prey to such tactics.
The saint went on to emphasize the importance of Hindus voting for parties that align with their values. “We appeal to the Hindu community to vote for parties that support Hindu Dharma and are committed to the well-being of our people,” the saint said. “We also call on other saints and religious leaders to guide their followers in supporting the right party.”
Call for Hindu Unity In The Face Of ‘Vote Jihad’
Another religious leader further spoke out against what they described as a concerted campaign by Muslim scholars to rally the Muslim community into voting as a bloc against Hindu interests. “It is wrong that the Muslim community votes as one, using their collective strength to support specific parties,” the saint remarked. “I urge the Hindu community to unite and vote for organizations or parties that defend our interests and promote Hindu values. Only then can we effectively counter the influence of these Muslim vote blocs.”
The overarching message from these religious leaders is clear: they are calling for a unified Hindu vote, one that prioritizes the protection of Hindu Dharma and supports parties that work for the community’s interests. Their appeal comes in the context of growing political polarization, with concerns over the influence of organized voting blocs based on religious lines.
