He portrayed Hanuman in the popular TV serial Ramayan 2. The Congresss decision to put Vikram Mastal against Shivraj Singh is a calculated move in a long-standing strategy to counter the BJPs Hindu politics by including lord Hanuman.Who is biggest Hanuman BhaktThe Congress started its campaign in Jabalpur on June 12 for the upcoming assembly polls with massive cut-outs of lord Hanuman in the city and rallies echoing with Jai Bajrang Bali chants. Congress is leaving no stone unturned to lay claim to Hanuman.The grand old party plans to recite the Sundar Kand in all assembly constituencies to ensure its victory in the state in incoming elections.Earlier, Hanuman became the center of politics in the Karnataka election after Congress vowed to ban the Bajrang Dal in the state.
