A program featuring Bageshwar Dham Maharaj in Pune, scheduled for November 20 and organized by former BJP MLA Jagdish Mulik, faces opposition from the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) faction led by Ajit Pawar. Sudarshan Jagdale, State President of the NCP under Ajit Pawar’s leadership, expressed dissent through a viral social media post, stating, “In the land of Saint Tukaram, such hypocrite Babas have no place.” The opposition by Ajit Pawar’s faction raises questions, considering Ajit Pawar’s alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Maharashtra.
Controversial Opposition and Social Media Response
The X handle of Sudarshan Jagdale posted the opposition to the Bageshwar Dham Maharaj’s program in Pune, emphasizing the historical significance of the region in the land of Saint Tukaram. The social media post went viral, drawing attention to the unexpected opposition and creating discussions online.
Political Dynamics and Raised Eyebrows
The program, organized by Jagdish Mulik, a former BJP MLA, adds a layer of complexity as Ajit Pawar’s faction, historically aligned with the BJP, opposes the event. The political dynamics behind the opposition are raising eyebrows, especially given Ajit Pawar’s political history.
Previous Programs and Union Minister’s Involvement
Highlighting the broader context, a recent grand program of Bageshwar Dham Maharaj was successfully organized in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, with Union Minister Bhagwat Karad taking the lead. This adds another dimension to the controversy surrounding the upcoming Pune program.
Jagdish Mulik Foundation’s Initiatives
The Jagdish Mulik Foundation, responsible for organizing the event, has a history of hosting ‘Hanuman Katha Satsang’ and ‘Divya Darbar’ programs in various parts of Pune city. The upcoming program, scheduled from November 20 to November 22, is anticipated to continue these initiatives.
