Ruckus in Mahakaal temple Ujjain
Notably, on Friday Mirchi Baba created a ruckus in the Mahakal temple of Ujjain. When he was stopped from entering the ‘Garbhagriha’, he started shouting slogans that, 'Hey Mahakaal, Mukhyamantri ko badal dena’(Mahakaal, do change the Chief Minister this time).
Mirchi Baba said , 'The saint is being stopped from offering prayers. Mahakal, have mercy and change this Chief Minister. Saints are suffering. Today a saint is shouting in your court. He is being implicated in false cases.’
‘Even after having a conversation with the Collector, I was stopped from visiting the temple as I always talk about Kamal Nath. BJP General Secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya was not stopped and I was stopped. Mahakaal will definitely punish them’, he added.
