“They (BJP) will disturb the Hindu-Muslim unity. An artificial wave for him (Modi) is being created. I will not explain, but it is well known how it is being done. How people are being bought over,” Acharya said.
The religious leader said if people of Varanasi have not understood the “misinterpretation” of the city's values, then it will be unfortunate for the whole city.
“The place reflects India's core values of pluralism, tolerance and intellectual thinking. The current political discourse may have a long-term impact on the city. If people here have not understood the threat, then it is a misfortune for the city,” he said.
Acharya said the incumbent MP Murli Manohar Joshi did not do any work for the city during the last five years.
“If one of BJP's tallest leaders did nothing for city, then how can we expect Modi to do something.”
