Owaisi will start wearing ‘janeu’ if Yogi returns to power in 2022: UP minister

UP minister Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary said that if the Yogi Adityanath government returns to power in the state for a second term, Asaduddin Owaisi will start wearing Hindus’ sacred thread 'janeu'.

If the Yogi Adityanath government returns to power in Uttar Pradesh for a second term, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi will start wearing Hindus’ sacred thread 'janeu', worn across the shoulder, and chanting Lord Ram’s name, a UP minister said on Sunday.

This will be in the line of leaders like Rahul Gandhi wearing ‘janeu’ and Akhilesh Yadav visiting Hanuman temples to pay his obeisance amid the strengthening BJP’s ideology, UP's Panchayati Raj Minister Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary asserted.
