Political activity intensified across Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday as major parties stepped up preparations for the upcoming Assembly elections. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched a fresh attack on the Samajwadi Party, claiming riots were frequent before 2017 but asserting that there is now no space for rioters in the state.
A fresh controversy has emerged over alleged irregularities in donations received by the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, prompting the Uttar Pradesh government to set up a three-member Special Investigation Team (SIT). The panel has been tasked with examining claims related to temple donations and the financial functioning of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust.
