No discrimination under our government, says Adityanath

‘If Dewa Sharif in Barabanki to be developed, then Mahadeva temple would also have to be developed’
If the Dewa Sharif, a famous shrine in Barabanki, has to be developed then even the Mahadeva, a well-known Shiva temple, would have to be developed, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Wednesday as he stressed that “one-sided development” would not work in the State.
Mr. Adityanath, who is touring districts and launching projects ahead of the 2022 Assembly polls, said there was no discrimination under his government even as he alleged that under the previous governments restrictions were put on celebration of Hindu festivals.
“The government doesn’t discriminate now. Dewa Sharif ka vikas hona hain toh Mahadeva ka bhi vikas hona hain. Ek tarfa vikas nahi chalega,” Mr. Adityanath said.
