In Rae Bareli, Swami Avimukteshwaranand continued his journey and stayed overnight at the residence of Yash Rakesh Pandey, the nephew of MLA Manoj Pandey, who belongs to the BJP. During this visit, Yash launched a scathing attack against his uncle, labeling him as a 'betrayer' for allegedly using political turmoil for personal gain during their father's death. He expressed solidarity with Avimukteshwaranand and pledged to uphold the Swami's teachings as he stands against what he described as corruption and mismanagement within the party.

Yash's statements reflect a clear rift within BJP's local leadership as he condemned the actions of his uncle who, according to Yash, has failed the people and his family. The accusations made include that Manoj Pandey has been exploiting family tragedies for his political advantage. Yash emphasized his allegiance not to power but to the truth, highlighting the ethical divide that appears to be forming within the political landscape of Uttar Pradesh.

Avimukteshwaranand also added to the controversy by accusing the Uttar Pradesh government of not only leading in beef exports but also of receiving funds from beef companies through electoral bonds, which raises questions about the integrity and transparency of political financing in the state. Moreover, he denounced the alleged attack on Ashutosh Maharaj in the Rewa Express, framing it as a conspiracy to tarnish his reputation. This incident illustrates ongoing tensions within the political fabric of the region and reflects broader issues of accountability in state governance.
