Swami Avimukteshwaranand's 'Gavishti Yatra' Shifts Focus to Political Messages

Ritwik Jaiswal Swami Avimukteshwaranand's'Gavishti Yatra'is now more about political messages and power-centric confrontation than its religious nature. The 81-day, ambitious political journey of 403 assemblies has so far covered more than 90 assembly constituencies in Purvanchal, entering its 18th day on Wednesday. But as the yatra progresses, a bigger question looms large: Why did Avimukteshwaranand make Uttar Pradesh the centre of his political and ideological activism after Bihar? While elections were held in states like West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala after Bihar, where the issue of cow protection was most burning, why were such yatras not held there?
