"No Riots In UP During Ram Navami": Adityanath

Yogi Adityanath said the situation during Ram Navami reflected the "new thinking of development" in UP.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has said there is no place for riots in Uttar Pradesh, stressing that the Ram Navami celebrations coinciding with Ramzan went off without any incident of violence -- not even an altercation or "tu-tu, main-main".

His remark at an event Tuesday came against the backdrop of recent cases of communal violence in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal and Gujarat.

Mr Adityanath said the situation during Ram Navami reflected the "new thinking of development" in UP.

He said Ram Navami-related processions were taken out at 800 places in the state that has a population of 25 crore.
