In a post on X, he wrote, ” As part of my Birthday, a spiritual and charity week, my visit to Banke Bihari Temple in Biharipura in Vrindavan Dham in Mathura was really enlightening. My prayers for peace, harmony and staying secular for the people of our great nation. To keep Priyanka, Rahul and all who are campaigning around India, safe and are able to hear each person’s issues, and to help create the change they need, to be part of a prosperous, a secular Nation.”
