Akhilesh Yadav’s rally in Moradabad postponed due to heavy rain
Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday cancelled his election rally in the brass city due to inclement weather.
Samajwadi Party has strongly reacted to the announcement of Yogi Adityanath Government to sanction financial assistance to all the districts of the state to organise Akhand Ramayan to be recited on Durga Saptashati during upcoming Navratri and on Ramnavami.
SP president Akhilesh Yadav has advised the government in a tweet on Tuesday to give at least Rs 10 crore each to the districts to celebrate festivals of all religions.
“Announcement to give Rs 1 lakh to the district magistrates of UP to celebrate Ram Navami is welcome, but what will happen with such a small amount. The districts should be given at least Rs 10 crore each so that festivals of all religions can be celebrated. The BJP Government should give free cylinders on festivals and it should start from this Ram Navami,” Yadav said.
