Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday came out in strong defence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who is facing the Opposition's heat for his recent remarks in the Rajya Sabha on Babasaheb Ambedkar.
After inaugurating the 'Atal Health Fair' with CM Yogi, the Defence Minister recalled witnessing parents carrying the bodies of children outside a hospital during his student years at Gorakhpur University.
The UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Tuesday that events like 'Yuva Kumbh' exemplify the nation's and state's profound respect and admiration for the revered Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
He emphasised Prime Minister Modi's global message of peace inspired by Lord Buddha and the strong ties forged with former Japanese PM Shinzo Abe, elevating bilateral relations.
In preparation for the Mahakumbh 2025, the Uttar Pradesh government has implemented exceptional measures to ensure cleanliness and hygiene.
Though the main confrontation is between Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and SP President Akhilesh Yadav, other leaders have joined in the tussle.
Stressing the mantra "win the booth, win the election," CM Adityanath urged party workers to ramp up their efforts at the grassroots level for maximum impact.
Even after claiming that he never said anything about any saint, the Samajwadi Party president continued his tirade against Yogi Adityanath.
Likening Congress and the SP to 'Bhasmasur' (a mythical character), he said they harm the very people who give them power.
He hailed the decision as a significant step toward strengthening democracy and promoting political stability.
