Lieutenant Governor candidate Aruna Miller, who served in Maryland's House of Delegates from 2010 to 2019, is facing backlash from Maryland voters due to her history of accepting donations from Hindutva-affiliated donors as she pursues the state's second-highest executive office. The influence of Hindu nationalism in US politics received attention in 2019 when an investigation revealed that former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard's campaign received funding from leaders of the US chapter of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), an Indian Hindu nationalist paramilitary group. Scott Webber of Maryland Progressive Voices, at a press conference on July 11th, detailed Miller's association with Hindutva donors for over a decade and attending events hosted by the Overseas Friends of Bharatiya Janata Party (OFBJP), the international wing of India's ruling BJP party. One such event that Miller attended was a banquet celebrating Narendra Modi's election to the office of Prime Minister of India, in which Miller spoke bold praise of Modi. In May 2022, referencing her attendance at the OFBJP banquet, Miller posted on Twitter: "I attended an event a decade ago before any authoritarian action he took as Prime Minister." This misleading response fails to acknowledge that before his time as Prime Minister, Modi had been banned from entering the US for nearly a decade due to his culpability in the violence in Gujarat in 2002, which killed thousands. While Aruna Miller won't acknowledge the tens of thousands of dollars that she has received from Hindutva-related donors throughout her political career, the competing King-Siri campaign for governor issued a statement that publically refused a donation made by a Hindutva-tied donor.
