The SRM is using scenes from the Ramayana (particularly images of Hanuman) in order to get its Patria-first economic protectionism and bring-the-jobs-home points across. In the words of the SRM's most recent paid political broadcast announcement: Patria's economy is Sita. Globalism is Ravana. Offshoring/outsourcing/made-in-China is Lanka. The SRM is Hanuman!
If you know the story line of the Ramayan, it will make sense. Patria will have this mix of Hinduism and economic jingoism shoved down its collective throats between now and April 19. In the meantime, if you have a lot of free time to kill, you can read a complete public domain translation of the Ramayana.
