Janasena Party supremo and Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan has established a dedicated wing within his party to protect Sanatana Dharma. The new wing is called ‘Narasimha Varahi Brigade’

Pawan made the announcement on Saturday during the inauguration of the ‘Deepam-2’ free cooking gas cylinder scheme in Jagannadhapuram village.

“I respect all religions, but I stand firm on my faith. Those who criticize Sanatana Dharma on social media or speak disrespectfully about it will have to face the consequences. Thus, I am establishing a dedicated wing within our party named the ‘Narasimha Varahi Brigade’ for the protection of Sanatana Dharma,” Pawan Kalyan said in his address.

Assuring strict action against those who make threats of assault or harassment against women, he emphasized that the coalition government in Andhra Pradesh prioritizes the safety of girls and women.

“We are implementing our promises to provide superior welfare compared to the previous government. Through the Deepam-2 scheme, we are distributing three gas cylinders each year to 1,08,39,286 eligible beneficiaries in the state, at a cost of Rs. 2,684 crore per year. Over five years, this amounts to Rs. 13,425 crore dedicated to welfare,” the deputy chief minister said.

Criticizing YSRCP leaders, he said: “Despite receiving only 11 seats, YSRCP members and supporters have not reformed. It has only been a few months since our government took charge, yet they are already acting as though something catastrophic has occurred, speaking freely on social media. From now on, those who spread falsehoods about the government will not be tolerated.”

Even after a significant defeat, YSRCP leaders continue to disrespect women on social media, he also said.

“Any form of abuse toward women will not be ignored, and we are monitoring the social media activities of those engaging in this behavior. From now on, anyone who speaks abusively about women will face stringent action,” he warned.

Janasena chief Pawan Kalyan on Saturday said he has set up a new wing in the party ‘Narasimha Varahi Ganam’ to protect Sanatana Dharma.

“I am starting a separate wing in Janasena for Sanatana Dharma protection and naming it as Narasimha Varahi Ganam,” said the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh in a press release.

Further, Kalyan asserted that he respects all the religions but those who tries to malign Hindu religion will face action.

“I respect all religions, but I stand firm on my faith. Those who criticize Sanatana Dharma on social media or speak disrespectfully about it will have to face the consequences.”

The announcement of forming of a new wing came during his visit to Eluru district.

Demands for ‘Sanatana Dharma’ protection

Amid the laddu controversy at Andhra Pradesh’s renowned Tirupati Balaji temple, Pawan Kalyan called for the creation of a national-level Sanatan Dharma Rakshan Board. Following this, he has now established a separate wing within his own party dedicated to this cause.

During the controversy, Kalyan had said, “Our government is committed to taking strict action, but this matter highlights the insult of temples, its land issues and other religious practices. Pawan Kalyan further said that now the time has come to form ‘Sanatana Dharma Rakshan Board’ at the national level to look into all the issues related to temples across India.”

The laddu controversy was triggered after the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu claimed that substandard ingredients, including animal fat, were used in the preparation of Tirupati laddus, the Prasdam offered at the Sri Venkateswara temple in Tirupati, during the previous YSRCP government.
