It’s Lord Ram’s ‘Kamaal’: Akhilesh mocks Yogi’s Taj Mahal visit

Taking a dig at Yogi Adityanath's cleanliness drive near Taj Mahal, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday said it was perhaps a "miracle of Bhagwan Ram" that brought Yogi Adityanath to the monument of love.

"See how time changes, BJP did not consider it as heritage...and now the CM is cleaning West Gate of Taj Mahal with a 'jhaadu' (broom)," Yadav told reporters in the city.

"It's good that SP workers from Agra have come here, otherwise they would have used broom at West Gate of Taj.He (CM) is wielding broom there. We have nothing to do with it. It is Lord Rama's 'kamaal' (beauty)," he said.

He said BJP leaders, who called the Taj a Hindu temple, were deliberately raising such issues to divert people's attention from the real problems.

In what can be seen as an attempt douse the raging controversy over BJP leaders' recent remarks on Taj Mahal, Adityanath on Thursday visited the 17th-century monument in Agra. Adityanath is the first BJP CM of UP to visit the Taj Mahal.

The UP Chief Minister weilded broom at the Western Gate of Taj Mahal and took part in a cleanliness drive.
