AU ASKED GOVT TO STOP AKHILESH, SAYS YOGI

Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday said that Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav’s visit to the swearing-in ceremony of a student leader in Allahabad would have sparked row in Prayagraj, where Kumbh Mela is going on. The Chief Minister also said that the Samajwadi Party (SP) is known for creating ruckus. Adityanath said the decision to not allow Yadav to attend the event was taken by the university authorities. “It was the Allahabad University administration which asked the government to stop Yadav from coming to Prayagraj as it was suspected that his visit may spark violence on the campus between students groups. That is why he has been stopped from going to Prayagraj,” the chief minister added.
