What happened when the Sanyasi first approached the Mamlatdar for help with his cow protection fundraiser?

When the Sanyasi first met the Mamlatdar, Dev, he requested help with a collection for cow protection. However, Dev explained that the timing was not right. According to Chapter 40, Dev informed the Sanyasi that another collection was already in progress in the town, led by Raosaheb Narottam Sheti and the Nagarseth. Because of this existing fundraising effort, Dev told the Sanyasi there was no 'favorability' for his cause at that moment and advised him to return in two to four months, at which point they could revisit the matter. Thus, the Sanyasi's initial request was politely deferred.
