Yogi Adityanath Challenges Akhilesh Yadav To Face Him In Ayodhya Ahead Of UP Elections

Will Ayodhya see a face-off between Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and his predecessor Akhilesh Yadav in the upcoming UP elections? The BJP leader has thrown down the gauntlet at the Samawadi chief in response to his Ayodhya dare. "Akhilesh ji, I have an offer for you. You also file your nomination from Shri Ayodhya Dham, and I will do the same," Adityanath said while inaugurating and laying the foundation stones for 78 developmental projects worth over Rs 800 crore in Balrampur district. Responding to him, Yadav said a young candidate is enough to take on the BJP in Ayodhya, pointing to the Ram temple donation theft row. The Samajwadi Party has already declared Tej Narayan Pandey as its candidate from Ayodhya.
