Refusing to support initiative of spiritual guru and founder of Art of living Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that his meeting with the spiritual guru was not political.
“I have met Sri Sri couple of times in the recent past but we never discuss politics. Our discussions hinged around religious matters,” he said.
Talking to reporters here on Sunday the CM said that like UP government held Investors Summit last month, the religious organisations are also eager to do something in the state and work here.
“My talks with Sri Sri, whom I know for the past several years, only revolved around his religious works in the state,” he said.
Recently, Sri Sri, who visited UP just before the Holi, had met Yogi Adityanath in Gorakhpur.
Sri Sri has initiated a formula for out-of-court settlement in the vexed Ayodhya issue. But the spiritual guru’s effort received a setback when his Muslim associate Maulana Salman Nadvi backtracked.
