Damdami Taksal chief Baba Harnam Singh Dhuma has extended warm congratulations to the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance. He praised the coalition for its recent victory in the Maharashtra municipal corporation elections.
Credit Goes to Chief Minister Fadnavis
Baba Harnam Singh Dhuma stated clearly that the credit for this electoral success belongs to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. He described Fadnavis as a very astute leader whose strategy led to the remarkable win.
The Taksal head shared his message publicly on his official Facebook page. He posted a detailed note celebrating the Mahayuti's achievement in the corporation polls.
Successful Candidates Recommended by Taksal
Baba Harnam Singh Dhuma made a significant claim about the election results. He said all the candidates who received tickets based on his personal recommendations registered impressive victories.
His Facebook post specifically mentioned these candidates achieved significant wins. The message included pictures of six successful candidates alongside photographs of the Taksal chief with CM Fadnavis.
Congratulations and Hopes for Minority Communities
The Taksal leader formally congratulated Devendra Fadnavis on the victory. He also extended his congratulations to all the winning candidates from the Mahayuti alliance.
Baba Harnam Singh Dhuma highlighted an important concern regarding Sikh communities outside Punjab. He noted that Sikhs represent a minority population in states like Maharashtra.
He expressed hope that the newly elected candidates would address the issues facing Sikhs and other minority groups. The Taksal chief urged them to handle these matters with great wisdom and careful consideration.
Continuing Political Alignment
This congratulatory message continues a pattern of political alignment. The Damdami Taksal first extended its support to the BJP-led Mahayuti during the Maharashtra assembly elections in November 2024.
Since that initial endorsement, the Sikh seminary has maintained its alignment with the BJP. This ongoing support has generated some criticism from certain quarters within the Sikh community.
The Shiromani Akali Dal, led by Sukhbir Singh Badal, has expressed disapproval of this alliance. Some other Sikh groups have also voiced criticism regarding the Taksal's political positioning.
Despite these criticisms, the Damdami Taksal continues its association with the BJP-led coalition. The recent congratulatory message reinforces this political relationship following the municipal election results.
