Hours after the Congress expelled Acharya Pramod Krishnam for six years over ‘anti-party’ remarks, the ex-party member asserted that compromise can not be done on ‘Ram and Rashtra’.  

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Krishnam tagged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and wrote, "Ram and Rashtra... But there can be no compromise.”

Earlier on Saturday, the Congress expelled Krishnam and said in an official statement that “In view of the complaints of indiscipline and repeated statements against the party, the Congress President has approved the proposal of the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee to expel Pramod Krishnam from the party for six years with immediate effect.”

Acharya Pramod Krishnam has earlier slammed the Rahul Gandhi-led ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ and called it a ‘political tourism’. He said that the grand old party is travelling while other parties are gearing up for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in 2024.

Notably, the Congress party's decision to expel Krishnam came days after he met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and invited him to lay the foundation stone for Shri Kalki Dham in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal on February 19. 

Taking to X, he wrote, “I had the privilege of inviting the illustrious Prime Minister of India, Respected Shri Narendra Modiji, to the foundation stone laying ceremony of Shri Kalki Dham organised on 19th February. Heartfelt gratitude and thanks to the Honorable Prime Minister for accepting this.”

Krishnam also participated in the ‘Pran Pratishthan’ ceremony of the Ram Temple held in Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya on January 22 and hailed the inauguration of the Ram Mandir crediting Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
