UP Election 2022: Chunaav Pe Charcha | Ye kya ho raha hai: Extra marks for extra effort?

The mystic poet, reformer & revered Dalit icon Sant Ravidas has a nationwide following - around the year. But come election season in Uttar Pradesh where the Dalit vote is being wooed left, right and centre, and political tributes for the saint pour in by the gallon.

Take Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi for example - they served langar at a temple in Varanasi on Ravidas Jayanti. Or Prime Minister Narendra Modi - who offered prayers at Guru Ravidas Vishram Dham Mandir in Delhi's Karol Bagh. He interacted with the devotees and participated in the 'Shabad Kirtan' in the temple. As we said, higher notch of vigour.
