Dera Sacha Sauda chief has been granted a 21-day furlough ahead of the sect’s 77th foundation day. Just 2 months ago, he had walked out of Sunaria Jail on 30-day parole.
Congress won 15 seats of 28 in six districts where Dera Sacha Sauda chief Ram Rahim holds sway; BJP got 10 as caste-based voting patterns played a bigger role.
His Dera Sacha Sauda is mobilising its followers to vote en masse, it is learnt. Some are labeling his timely release as 'desperate push' by BJP, others say it's unlikely to change outcome.
Gurmeet Ram Rahim's YouTube channel has over 1.25 million subscribers. In his most recent video, he urges devotees not to visit him because he is always available for digital darshans.
The Dera chief had walked out of the Sunaria jail on a 30-day parole on July 30, 2023, while he was granted a 40-day parole in January last year as well.
Karnal's BJP leaders, including the mayor, attended Dera Sacha Sauda chief's virtual satsang. The religious leader, convicted in rape & murder cases, is out on parole for 40 days.
What made him ‘Akbar the Great’ was not the might of his armies alone, but the political architecture he built to sustain power over a subcontinent teeming with diversity.
