BJP Accuses Opponents in Tamil Nadu of Using Hindu Deity Slogans Ahead of By‑Polls

BJP leaders in Tamil Nadu have publicly criticized rival parties for using slogans that reference Hindu deities in their campaign materials ahead of the state’s upcoming by‑polls. The party alleges that such slogans are designed to appeal to religious sentiments and sway the electorate. The criticism comes as the by‑polls are scheduled to decide key seats that could influence the balance of power in the state assembly. BJP officials warn that the use of religious imagery in political messaging could undermine secular principles and distort voter choice.

The party’s stance reflects a broader concern about the politicization of religion in electoral politics. While the opposition parties have not yet responded to the accusations, the BJP’s remarks are likely to intensify scrutiny of campaign practices in Tamil Nadu’s upcoming elections.
