Person like Maurya should be the CM, not an arrogant person: Avimukteshwaranand Maharaj

Prayagraj, Jan 24 (UNI) The dispute between Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati of Jyotishpeeth and the Uttar Pradesh government refuses to die down with the Shankaracharya now saying that a ''sensible person'' like Keshav Prasad Maurya should be the Chief Minister and not ''someone who is stubborn and acts out of a spirit of revenge.''
Supporting Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya, the Shankaracharya said on Saturday that the reins of the state should be in the hands of a ''sensible person like Keshav Maurya rather than someone arrogant.''
The Shankaracharya welcomed Maurya's statement in which he had assured action against those allegedly involved in the incident concerning the Shankaracharya.
