On the final weekend of campaigning ahead of the UK general election, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour Leader Keir Starmer made strategic visits to Hindu temples to appeal to British Hindu voters.
Rishi Sunak, at the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Neasden, promised to "make the community proud" and emphasized values such as education, hard work, and family. Meanwhile, Keir Starmer, at a different Swaminarayan Temple in Kingsbury, highlighted his commitment to building a strategic partnership with India, echoing the Hindu Manifesto's call for protecting Hindu places of worship and tackling anti-Hindu hate.
Both leaders' visits are part of a broader effort to engage with the Hindu electorate, a sizable group in the upcoming election. This final push is crucial, given the strong Indian heritage of Sunak and Labour's pledges toward the community. How the British Hindu voters respond on polling day remains a pivotal question.
