Following DMK's heavy defeat in the 2026 Tamil Nadu assembly elections, Uttar Pradesh MLA Raja Bhaiya sharply reacted to Udhayanidhi Stalin's 2023 remark on Sanatan Dharma. He posted on X: 'मिट गए सनातन को मिटाने का सपना देखने वाले' (Those dreaming of eradicating Sanatan have been erased).
The Tamil Nadu assembly election results declared on May 4, 2026, delivered a crushing defeat to the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK). Tamil superstar Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) emerged as the single largest party, winning 107-108 seats, while DMK secured around 60 seats.
Chief Minister M.K. Stalin lost his Kolathur seat to TVK's V.S. Babu by about 8,700 votes. TVK captured DMK's stronghold Chennai, winning 14 out of 16 constituencies. DMK Minister K.R. Periyakaruppan lost Tiruppattur by just one vote to TVK's Seenivasa Sethupathy.
In response to these results, Uttar Pradesh's Kunda MLA Raghuraj Pratap Singh, known as Raja Bhaiya, posted on X. He wrote: 'मिट गए सनातन को मिटाने का सपना देखने वाले' (Those dreaming of eradicating Sanatan have been erased). The post targeted DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin's 2023 statement, where he called Sanatan Dharma against social justice, comparing it to diseases like corona, malaria, and dengue, and saying it should be eradicated.
Raja Bhaiya had then described the remark as hatred towards Hindus. The old controversy has resurfaced amid DMK's poll debacle.
