Self-styled godman Dhirendra Krishna Shastri of Madhya Pradesh, also known as Bageshwar Dham Sarkar is very likely to organise a religious congregation in the state.

This was confirmed by Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, himself during a media interaction here in Guwahati on Wednesday.

“I will be visiting Assam again; today I met chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and he requested me to conduct an event (Katha) here. Very soon, I will organise an event in the land of Ma Kamakhya,” said Dhirendra Krishna Shastri.

Speaking about the Hindu Rastra, the religious leader added, “Bharat is already a Hindu Rastra, just need an announcement.”
