Adityath visits Krish Janmabhoomi

Mathura, Feb 24: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityath visited the Krish Janmabhoomi on Saturday and spent about 30 minutes in the sanctum sanctorum. Adityath, who was accompanied by Power Minister Shrikant Sharma, said he was in Mathura to participate in the ‘Latthmaar Holi’ of Barsa, which, he averred, was his contribution to make the festival reach global audiences. “In the past we organised a Diwali at Ayodhya and now there is Holi in Braj area. There would be many more events in the state to popularise such festivals and to boost the tourism sector further,” he added. When asked by reporters on whether such events will also be held on Eid, he said he was a Hindu. “I am a Hindu, every religious person has the right to celebrate his beliefs and traditions” the Chief Minister said.
