The Head priest of Chilkur Balaji Temple, Rangarajan criticised Tamil Nadu Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin's 'Sanatana Dharma should be eradicated' remark. He emphasized that Sanatan Dharma has withstood the test of time and has been followed by millions of people. Rangarajan questioned Udhayanidhi Stalin's knowledge of 'Dravidian Culture' and suggested that he seek information from his father, MK Stalin, about Ma Po Si (Mylai Ponnuswamy Sivagnanam). He further urged the people of Tamil Nadu to use their voting power to elect a leader who respects Sanatan Dharma. He said, ' Udhayanidhi Stalin should understand what is the meaning of Dravidian ideology...What have you done for Tamil culture, to protect it, to preserve it?... I request the people of Tamil Nadu to show them the power of the ballot. Elect a person who respects Sanatan Dharma...'
