Yogi Adityanath, the chief minister of India’s most populous state, says there is “no tension at all, not even tu tu main main.” This is despite the Hindu festival celebrating Lord Ram’s birth and the holy month of Ramzan happening at the same time.
The Chief Minister said on Tuesday at a meeting in Lucknow. It’s a sign of how the state of UP wants to grow.
“Ram Navami has just been celebrated, and it was a big event. In Uttar Pradesh, there are 25 million people. Each city had 800 Ram Navami parades. This month is Ramzan, so there must have been a lot of Ramzan-themed events going on. People didn’t fight at all, even though there were many “tu tu main main.” “Last night, Yogi Adityanath gave a speech that he tweeted out.

“This is a sign of how UP wants to grow. Because there is no more space for riots, lawlessness, or goondagardi now, “He said.
During Ram Navami celebrations on Sunday in states like Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, and West Bengal, two people were killed, and many people were hurt.
Yogi Adityanath, who recently won a record second term in UP, said this in the context of the violence.
When a Ram Navami procession passed through a Muslim-dominated part of Khargone, stones were thrown at it. This led to arson and violence in the town, which is in the state of Madhya Pradesh. At least 94 people have been arrested by the state’s government, which the BJP runs.
They’ve also started demolishing buildings to target those who threw stones at the parade.
Questions have been raised about why his government didn’t do more to stop a Hindu priest from making a hate speech outside a mosque in Uttar Pradesh’s Sitapur district at the start of the Navratra festival.
The priest, Bajrang Muni, has said that he would kidnap and rape Muslim women. The police have filed a case against him, but they haven’t yet arrested him or taken him in.
In a video that went viral, a Mahant in Khairabad, about 100 miles from Lucknow, addressed a crowd from a jeep in the presence of police. He made inflammatory and racially charged remarks as the crowd cheered him on with shouts of “Jai Shri Ram.”
When he spoke, it looked like he said that 28 lakh had been raised to kill him. He also said he would kidnap Muslim women from the area and rape them in public.
