Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh) [India], May 28 (HBTV): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited the Gorakhnath Temple on Wednesday and held janata darshan at the temple premises.

During his visit, the Chief Minister addressed public grievances and reviewed various issues brought to his attention. He also interacted with children and fed birds within the temple compound.

On Tuesday, CM Yogi inaugurated Poshan Pakhwada 2025 in Gorakhpur. In his address, he said: 'Today Gorakhpur has transformed. Anyone who visits here goes back overwhelmed. Now, there is a new Uttar Pradesh of New India, and with it, a new Gorakhpur. There are good roads here, and a good drainage system has been built. New development programs are moving forward. AIIMS Gorakhpur has become a major centre for treatment in eastern Uttar Pradesh.'

He further emphasised that new infrastructural projects are progressing rapidly.

Launching a strong criticism of the Samajwadi Party (SP) and Congress, CM Yogi accused them of divisive politics and of supporting Pakistan in the aftermath of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.

Earlier, while speaking at an event in Uttar Pradesh's Deoria district, the Chief Minister condemned SP leaders for their comments, which he claimed undermine national unity and indirectly defend Pakistan by deflecting blame for the attack.

He referred to an SP leader's refusal to visit the family of Shubham Dwivedi, a Kanpur resident killed in the attack, stating that the leader claimed Dwivedi was not a member of the party.

'You have seen that after the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, it is hard to understand whether the statements are from an SP leader or a Pakistani spokesperson... When a reporter asked an SP leader why he hadn't gone to pay respects to the victim, Shubham Dwivedi, he said he wasn't a member of the party,' the CM remarked.

'The country has come together to condemn the attack, but these SP leaders have made such remarks,' he added.
