New Delhi: Noted spiritual guru Acharya Pramod Krishnam congratulated Priyanka Gandhi Vadra for her spectacular victory in Wayanad elections, while calling her Congress' “sarvadhik (most)” popular leader.

Taking to X, Acharya Pramod Krishnam wrote, “Congress’s “Sarvadhik” popular leader, Hearty congratulations and best wishes to respected @priyankagandhi ji on the “victory” of Wayanad.”

In February this year, Acharya Pramod Krishnam, who lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the Ayodhya Ram temple consecration ceremony and hit out at the Congress for skipping the event, was expelled for six years by the party. Congress said Acharya Pramod was expelled for “indiscipline” and making anti-party remarks.
