Pejawar mutt chief Vishwesha Teertha Swamiji Thursday asked his disciple and Union Minister Uma Bharti to "balance between her work and her passion" while taking up the issue of clean Ganga.
The octogenerian pontiff said he has heard that Bharti, handling the portfolio of Drinking Water and Sanitation, has decided to camp on the banks of the Ganga every night for one-and-a-half years.
He said he appreciated the vow and offered his blessings for her "sacred intention."
Announcing her decision not to contest the next Lok Sabha elections, Bharti said recently that she would set out on a 2,500-km yatra (pilgrimage) along the Ganga on foot from Makar Sankranti in January next year for nearly one-and-a-half years by "leaving power."
