A fresh political storm has hit Uttar Pradesh following Akhilesh Yadav’s endorsement of young men who littered the Ganga with biryani bones during a boat party in Varanasi. Dismissing backlash, the SP leader quipped about iftar festivities, drawing sharp criticism from BJP leaders.
Minister Jayveer Singh accused Yadav of betraying Sanatan culture for electoral gains. ‘He should seek forgiveness from the country. Ganga embodies our purest sentiments and is central to Hindu traditions. Supporting polluters is a blatant insult to our heritage,’ Singh asserted.
In a broader context, Singh celebrated President Murmu’s presence at the Shri Ram Yantra installation in Ayodhya. ‘After centuries of devotion and sacrifice, thanks to PM Modi, Ram Lalla is home. The President’s visit underscores UP’s spiritual legacy,’ he remarked.
The BJP government, Singh said, has transformed religious tourism, drawing record crowds and boosting the economy toward a trillion-dollar milestone. With ironclad law enforcement and efficient public schemes, UP is thriving. He extended best wishes to Nitish Kumar’s Rajya Sabha bid and saw Assam Congress’s internal rift as proof of BJP’s unstoppable momentum there.
