Gau Bhakts to Contest Bihar Elections on Cow Protection
Some people who really love cows, called Gau Bhakts, are running for office in Bihar.
They want to stop cows from being slaughtered and want everyone to see cows as really important.
They're traveling around Bihar to get people to vote for them.
They're running as independent candidates because they feel the regular political parties haven't done enough to protect cows.
They hope that if they get enough votes, the government will have to listen to them and take action on cow protection.
Gau Bhakts are contesting the Bihar assembly elections as independent candidates.
Their main goal is to protect cows and ban cow slaughter.
Swami Avimukteshwaranand is leading the campaign through the Gau Mata Sankalp Yatra.
They aim to declare Gau Mata as 'rashtra mata'.
They feel that political parties have not addressed their concerns regarding cow protection.
