"We are fond of temples..."
UP CM Yogi Adityanath reignited the decade long debate on graveyard funds in the state after addressing an event on the UP government’s 9-year milestone.
In 2012, the Samajwadi Party proposed graveyard development, a policy that soon entered the political spotlight.
By the 2017 UP polls, PM Narendra Modi recast it as the “graveyard-crematorium” plank, foregrounding questions of development parity.
Years later, amid elections across several states and a Union Territory, CM Yogi Adityanath revived and reframed the issue invoking a temple narrative on the campaign trail.
