Seer Swami Avimukteshwaranand while replying to query about Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's status as saint, said a saint cannot be Chief Minister. He reportedly said saint cannot stay "religious" after taking oath of secularism as constitutional dignitary. "No man can abide by two pledges. A saint can be 'mahant' but not Chief Minister or Prime Minister," he added.
