Delhi Assembly Elections 2025: Just before the Delhi Assembly elections, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has written a letter to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) requesting that in the manifesto to be issued for the upcoming elections, there should be a copy for the priests of all the temples, Archakas and Shastris of religious institutions. There should be a promise of providing monthly honorarium.
VHP’s Delhi state minister Surendra Gupta today wrote a letter to BJP Delhi state unit president Virendra Sachdeva saying that Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has been demanding for a long time to provide honorarium to all the priests and archakas of the temples of Delhi. Is. Let us tell you that just a few days before the assembly elections, the Aam Aadmi Party government has announced to give Samman Rashi to Archakas and priests every month as per the demand of VHP.
Taunt on AAP government’s announcement
VHP has termed the recent announcement of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government as incomplete and an election gimmick. Gupta wrote in his letter, “This announcement of the Aam Aadmi Party government is insignificant and incomplete. Neither is there any mention of the Shastris of Arya Samaj, nor is there any mention of the priests of ISKCON temple, nor is there any mention of Jain Sthanak in it.”
‘There should be no politics on this issue’
VHP has made this demand by writing a letter to BJP’s Delhi State President Virendra Sachdeva. He also wrote that if BJP government is formed, it should be completed on priority basis. Vishwa Hindu Parishad has made it clear that there should be no politics on this issue. He said that respect for archakas and priests is a matter of religious and social priority, it should not be made a part of the strategy of any political party.
VHP workers say that Aam Aadmi Party is losing the elections badly in Delhi, hence their announcement has no significance now. Despite being in the government for 10 years, he did not take any care of our Archak and Pujari, now when the elections are near and he can see his defeat, he is making such insignificant announcements.
