Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati, the Shankaracharya of Jyotishpeeth, has initiated a campaign in Bihar, focusing on the upcoming elections. He intends to visit every district, providing support to independent candidates who advocate for cow protection. The Shankaracharya will not be endorsing any candidates from political parties.
He plans to interact with voters, especially those concerned about cow welfare, to emphasize the importance of supporting independent candidates who are committed to preventing cow slaughter or promoting the recognition of cows as a national symbol. This stance arises from the lack of support from any political party regarding cow slaughter. He will cut votes of all parties and made a point that the good old days were during the monarchy.
