Balmukund Acharya, the BJP MLA from Hawa Mahal, Rajasthan, has repeatedly used his public platform to target and vilify the Muslim community through hate-filled speeches and conspiratorial claims. A staunch Hindutva ideologue, Acharya has made communal provocation central to his politics. 

On July 28, 2024, while addressing a gathering in Sanwasa village, Dausa, he warned Hindus that if Muslim men continued marrying “four wives and having 36 children,” then in 15–20 years, Hindu children would disappear. He repeated the same line on September 13, 2024, in Jaipur’s Parkota area, and went further to say that such people should not be allowed to live in the area. He glorified the 1992 riots and praised Valmiki youth for standing up with swords to “show Muslims their place.”

On September 21, 2024, in Jaipur, Acharya openly called on Hindus to keep weapons like swords and trishuls, saying “you may need them when the time comes.” He described Muslims as vidharmi and declared that they would not be around much longer. He invoked Mughal rule to stoke historical resentment and fuel communal polarization.

His pattern of anti-Muslim attacks continued into November. On November 9, 2024, at a Gopastami Mahotsav event in Khinvsar, Nagpur, Acharya accused Muslims of grabbing Goshala land through the Waqf Board and converting them into slaughterhouses. He invoked conspiracy theories like “love jihad” and “land jihad,” portraying Muslims as infiltrators and enemies of sanatan dharma.

By March 2025, Acharya turned his focus to mosques, publicly attacking the use of loudspeakers during azaan. At a BJP legal cell’s Holi Milan event, he claimed to suffer from migraines due to the sound and appointed lawyers in the audience to fix the problem for him. He wrote to the Jaipur Police Commissioner about bike rallies by Muslims after Friday prayers, accusing participants of shouting “anti-national slogans” and disturbing law and order. While his own party’s Deputy Chief Minister Prem Chand Bairwa condemned him for using “indecent language,” Acharya doubled down and accused critics of insulting sanatan dharma.
