In an interview on India TV’s Chunav Manch, bhajan singer Kanhaiya Mittal asserted that the Bharatiya Janata Party will win the upcoming Haryana Assembly elections. Mittal, known for his hit song "Jo Ram Ko Laaye Hain, Hum Unko Laayenge", recently faced rumors of joining the Congress but later reversed his decision.
Explaining his stand, Mittal said, "I am not affiliated with any political party," clarifying that he is not active in any political party at all. He noted that some leaders of the Congress had approached him to sing devotional songs, but there was a perception that his events were associated with a particular party, leading to discussions about joining the Congress.
Mittal also shared that some Congress MLAs have switched to BJP after listening to his devotional songs, making him want to showcase his bhajans to Congress supporters. He stressed his commitment to promoting Hindu values: "I am a devotee of Sanatan Dharma and always want to advance its cause." At the event, he played several songs from his bhajans and reaffirmed that his music was not aligned with any political party.
