At an inauguration and foundation stone-laying ceremony for various development projects, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath claimed they are “devotee of Bajrangbali” and criticised those he termed “devotee of Babri,” alleging that those who visited Hanumangarh were later seen enjoying a fish feast, and likening their conduct to “Ram on the lips, but a knife by the side.” He declared, “Whoever belongs to Ram is of value to us. Whoever does not belong to Ram is of no use to us.”
