After the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won the Uttar Pradesh Assembly election for the second time in a row, Agra is witnessing a craze for Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The young men from both Hindu and Muslim communities in Agra are queuing up to get tattoos of Yogi Adityanath and the bulldozer on their bodies.
