Dhirendra Shastri said that casteism is not the issue in the country; nationalism is essential. If Hindus don't unite, bad times will come. Devotees are showering flowers with bulldozers.

The Sanatan Hindu Ekta Rath Yatra of Pithadheeshwar Pt. Dhirendra Krishna Shastri of Bageshwar Dham reached Aman Ganj in Panna on Monday. Devotees welcomed him by showering flowers with a JCB. Shastri said, "Not casteism, but nationalism is essential in India. If all Hindus do not unite, the times to come will be very bad." During the yatra in Aman Ganj, two buses of Lala Kalapat Singhania School were stuck for about 20 minutes due to traffic congestion.
