Kalicharan claimed that Muslims captured Pakistan and Bangladesh via politics and were aided by 'Maha Harami' Gandhi. Thanking Godse, Kalicharan blamed the administration for being mere puppets (of the Muslims).
On December 26, at the two-day ‘Dharam Sansad’ in Raipur, the seer said that the aim of Islam is to capture the nation through politics and he praised Nathuram Godse for killing Mahatma Gandhi. Kalicharan Maharaj said, "Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi destroyed the country...salutations to Nathuram Godse, who killed him.”
He also urged people to elect a “staunch Hindu leader” to “protect” Hinduism.
Kalicharan Maharaj said, “What is our prime duty - to save religion. We should elect a staunch Hindu king (leader) in the government irrespective of any party (he/she) belongs to...The women of our houses are very good and civilised and they do not go to vote (in an election). When there will be incidents of gang rape, what will happen to women of your houses (families)...(Mahamurkho) Idiots! I am calling to those who do not go out to vote.”
