Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday rejected Opposition’s charge that he appeared to be the leader of only one community said that while he was a Hindu, proud of the religion’s traditions, his Government would provide a conducive atmosphere to those wanting to observe festivals like ‘Eid’.
Earlier, the Opposition leaders raised questions referring to the CM’s reported response to journalists in Mathura some days back that he did not celebrate ‘Eid’.
During his reply to motion of thanks in the State Assembly, CM also took pot-shots at rival parties, claiming it was “frustration and helplessness” of the SP that led it to reach an understanding with BSP ahead of the Gorakhpur and Phulpur bypolls.
