Critics claim that Jaggi Vasudev shares the ideology of Bharatiya Janata Party's Hindu nationalism (Hindutva), and that he takes an "intolerant nationalist" stance in his media appearances. He advocates a total ban on cow slaughter and characterises the era of Muslim Rule in India as an "oppressive occupation" that was far worse than the British Raj. Vasudev has also spoken in favour of the 2019 Balakot airstrike, the introduction of a comprehensive GST, and the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, while denouncing the Thoothukudi protests as a peril to industry. Vasudev accuses leftist liberals of aiding and abetting militancy in Kashmir, and has suggested that Kanhaiya Kumar and Umar Khalid, known for their involvement in the JNU sedition row, should be put behind bars. His understanding of politics and history has been repeatedly questioned.
