Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, rhetorically asked if campaigners step up on stage to sing 'bhajan' or devotional songs, during elections. He was reacting to the controversy surrounding a comment he had made regarding a candidate of the Samajwadi Party. Adityanath, while addressing a rally, had said that SP's Shafiqur Rahman Barq had referred to himself as 'Babur ki aulad'. The Election Commission has sent a show cause notice to the UP CM over the remark.
