When a look-alike of UP CM Yogi Adityanath roamed in Varanasi!

A look-alike of the state’s newly-elected 21st Chief Minister Adityanath Yogi was seen in Varanasi.

Varanasi, April 3: In what can be described as a major breach of law and order in Uttar Pradesh, a look-alike of the state's newly-elected 21st Chief Minister Adityanath Yogi was seen in Varanasi.

According to reports, the shocking incident took place on Wednesday, March 29, on the occasion of Sant Jhulelal Jayanti. The event was being held by people belonging to the Sindhi community and to mark the event, tableaux were organised.

The person who bore resemblance with 44-year-old Adityanath was spotted with a convoy of 'security commandos', who were allegedly carrying fake guns. Later on, it was found out that it was a part of one of the programmes, to mark the Jayanti.

Onlookers believed that the person was the chief minister himself and showered flower petals on his red-beaconed car.

The incident drew sharp criticism from many and was looked as a serious case of law and order breach.

No action has been taken against the person who was allegedly dressed as Yogi Adityanath.

Interestingly, shortly after being sworn-in as the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, decided to completely do away with the lal batti (red beacon) culture. He made the announcement during his first cabinet meeting in Lucknow on March 20. [Yogi Adityanath bans Lal Batti culture in UP]
