Opposition on a mission to criticise Hindu traditions and Sanatan, says U.P. CM Yogi
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath criticized the Samajwadi Party and Congress for allegedly opposing Hindu traditions and Sanatan Dharma. He contrasted his government's focus on temple development with the previous administration's spending priorities.
Why it matters

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday (July 9, 2026) in Banda hit out at the Samajwadi Party (SP) and said that the Indian National Congress made it their life’s mission to criticise Hindu traditions and Sanatan, adding that they do not want to see a prosperous and Viksit Bharat.
