Summary:
(When I used to give cow sermons, people would garland me. DEHRADUN: Seer-turned-politician Gopal Mani Maharaj, who is contesting as an independent candidate from the Tehri Lok Sabha seat, says that unlike his gau-kathas (cow sermons) “which attract huge crowd”, he is disappointed by the low turnout of people in his election rallies. I am confident people will give me a chance to do work for the cow as well as for their development.”A B Ed as well as MA in Sanskrit, 61-year-old Gopal Mani has been giving cow sermons since 1984. CM Trivendra Rawat had also declared soon after taking over that the Uttarakhand Protection of Cow Progency Act which had been passed in 2007 will “now be enforced in true letter and spirit in the state.” Only kings and queens have won from Tehri but nobody has really done anything for the place..
