Everything You Need To Know About The Bizarre Netaji-Inspired Cult Behind The Mathura Violence

Azad Bharat Vidhik Vaicharik Kranti Satyagrahi, a Netaji-inspired cult in UP had remained literally unheard of until they unleashed a violent resistance against the police team which tried to evict them from a park which they had illegally encroached. Slowly information regarding the cult group has begun emerging and it is nothing but bizarre.

Mystery leader

The group which claims their allegiance to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose is reportedly lead by someone called Ram Vriksha Singh Yadav. Some 3000 of the cult-members had taken over Jawahar park in Mathura in 2014 and has been camping there.

Linking to Netaji

Yadav is believed to be a disciple of someone called Tulsidas Maharaj. Maharaj aka Gurudev had on January 23 1975, the 78th birth anniversary of Subhash Chandra Bose impersonated himself the reincarnation of Netaji. Later the self-styled god-man started into politics and is believed to have amassed Rs 12,000 crore empire before his death, even though the date of his death is still unclear.

Bizarre demands

The cult has some absolutely strange claims and demands. This includes discontinuation of the Indian rupee and return to the currency notes used by Azad Hind Fauj.

Also they wanted 40 litres of petrol for Rs 1 and 60 litres of diesel also for Rs 1. They also wanted to do away with elections in India. The group demands the cancellation of the election of various members of government.

They want the axing of the position of prime minister and president because the parliamentary system is seen by them as a hand-me-down from the British colonial rulers.

The cult had turned the park which it had encroached into a self sustaining unit with even producing agricultural products within their fort, before it was busted by the police earlier this week.
