A UP Connection To The Punjab Polls
The crucial assembly polls in Punjab found a major Uttar Pradesh connection today on the occasion of the Guru Ravidas Jayanti. Top politicians including those from Punjab visited a prominent temple in Varanasi located in an area that is the birthplace of the 14th century social reformer and spiritual leader who is an influential icon for Dalits especially in Punjab. Prime Minister Modi visited a Ravidas temple in Delhi and then made multiple reference to Guru Ravidas at an election speech in Pathankot.
