"Not Even Tu Tu Main Main In UP": Yogi Adityanath's Ram Navami Boast

Yogi Adityanath made the statement in the context of clashes that broke out during Ram Navami celebrations in states like Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand and West Bengal, in which two were killed and many injured.

After clashes reported recently in some states during Ram Navami processions, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has claimed that there is "no tension at all, not even tu tu main main" in India's most populous state despite the Hindu festival celebrating Lord Ram's birth and the holy month of Ramzan coinciding. यहां दंगा-फसाद के लिए कोई जगह नहीं है... pic.twitter.com/LWkPZznsVx

This, the Chief Minister said at an event in Lucknow on Tuesday, was a symbol of UP's new development agenda.

"Ram Navami was just celebrated. A 25-crore population lives in Uttar Pradesh. There were 800 Ram Navami processions across the state and simultaneously, this is the month of Ramzan and many roza iftar programmes must have been on. But there was not even any 'tu tu main main' (squabbling) anywhere, forget riots," Yogi Adityanath said in a speech tweeted from his Twitter handle last night.

"This is a symbol of UP's new development agenda. There is no space for riots, lawlessness or goondagardi anymore," he said.
