Ajay Rai Challenges Yogi Adityanath's Allegations in Open Letter
Uttar Pradesh Congress President Ajay Rai wrote an open letter to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath criticizing his casteist and religious remarks, which Rai says polarize society. Rai challenged Adityanath to provide proof of allegations that he ate fish during Shravan, pledging to retire from politics if evidence is shown. Rai also denied intimidation by the mafia and urged the Chief Minister to focus on state issues rather than personal attacks. Adityanath has not responded to the challenge.
