UP CM to launch election campaign in Jharkhand
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is in high demand for the assembly by-elections, not only in Uttar Pradesh but also in Jharkhand and Maharashtra.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath flagged off two ‘Ganga Raths’ on Thursday ahead of his five-day ‘Ganga Yatra’ scheduled to begin on January 27.
Out of these two Raths, one will go to Bijnor where the Ganga enters the state of Uttar Pradesh, while the other Rath will go to Ballia from where the holy river exists.
“Ganga was not only a symbol of faith but also a symbol of our economy. The Ganga campaign will give a definite boost to economy and help agriculture,” Chief Minister said.
