“The saints in one voice have demanded an enquiry against Vineet Narain,” said Fuldol Bihari Maharaj.

"By his utterance two days ago, he tried to drive a wedge between sanyasis," he said.

As the head of Braj Foundation, Narain had allegedly questioned the authority of Chief Minister Adityanath for inaugurating Vrindavan Kumbh.

“Since Yogi Aditya Nath belongs to “Nath Sect”, he was not authorised to inaugurate the Vrindavan Kumbh,” he had allegedly said.

The Vrindavan Kumbh should have been inaugurated by Braj Videh saint Kathia Baba as the Kumbh traditionally is organised by Nirvani, Nirmohi and Digambar Akhara, the Braj Foundation head had added.
