Chandragupta Maurya defeated Alexander, says UP CM Yogi Adityanath

Addressing the 'Samajik Pratinidhi Sammelan' in Lucknow on Sunday, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath said that Chandragupta Maurya had defeated Alexander the Great and that history had been distorted.

After Jinnah, Chandragupta Maurya appears to be dominating political discourse ahead of the assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh.

Speaking in Lucknow on Sunday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, “Chandragupta Maurya's legacy had been distorted as he was not credited for defeating the Greek conqueror Alexander.”
