After computer Baba launched an attack on CM Shivraj Singh Chauhan by tendering his resignation, another spiritual leader Pandorkhar Sarkar has served the BJP government, a blow by floating a new political party— Shanjhi Virasat Party in Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday.

Sarkar is exploring all avenues for third front in Madhya Pradesh stating that he is in touch with other political outfits including SAPAKS and Akhand Bharat Mission Party. Spiritual leader Pandorkhar Sarkar told the media, “We have solid candidates for 50 seats in the state.

We are in regular in touch with other political outfits like SAPAKAS, Devikinandan Thakur’s Akhand Bharat Mission Party and others to form third front in the state. And after consensus for any front, we will decide the seats sharing in assembly polls.”

Recently, an spiritual leader Devikinandan Thakur had floated Akhand Bharat Mission Party in MP. After six months of conferment of the status of Minister of State (MoS)- Computer Baba resigned on October 1 on ground that CM Shivraj Singh Chauhan did not take any action in various issues including illegal mining.

BJP government had accorded Minister of State (MoS) status to five babas (saints) associated with Narmada river awareness committee-Narmadanand, Hariharanand, Computer Baba, Bhayyuji Maharaj and Yogendra Mahant—in April 2018.

The self-styled godman Computer Baba has resigned, accusing Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan of not fulfilling his promises. Swami Namdev Tyagi, popularly known as Computer Baba, had also accused Chouhan of being a hypocrite and full of deceits. He claimed the government did little to stop illegal mining in the Narmada River.
