Dhiru Shah, one of the event organizers, expressed disappointment over the fact that nearly 40% of Hindu voters did not participate in the elections, resulting in BJP winning only 240 seats instead of the targeted 400+. He highlighted a similar situation in local American elections, citing Forsyth county, where less than 100 Hindu Americans voted out of a total of 3,700 registered Hindu voters, leading to the loss of a Hindu American candidate for the Commissioner’s seat. Shah urged all eligible Hindu American voters to cast their votes in county, state, and federal elections regardless of their party affiliations. He emphasized that it is the Dharmic duty of every Hindu to donate (Dan) for Dharmic causes.
