00:00Don't blame Diwali festivities for pollution, says UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
00:04It's heartening to see people bursting crackers.
00:07Yogi Adityanath coming out in support of people bursting the firecrackers
00:11and saying Diwali is the festival that's for some reason always targeted for the pollution concerns.
00:17And Diwali is not the reason for that.
00:20So full-on support by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and in the state.
00:23I can tell you, of course, because one, there is Ayodhya in the state of UP,
00:27the Ram Nagari, that is there.
00:28Yogi Adityanath maintains, we never imposed curbs on firecrackers.
00:33You must have noticed the great hustle and bustle in the markets on the day of Dhanteras
00:36by Diwali people were already complaining about pollution even before that, he meant.
00:41Well, even if it did occur, it will eventually dissipate.
00:45Heartening to see people bursting firecrackers and celebrating the festival of the Pavli.
00:49And the manner in which whenever people celebrate a festival,
00:53others just start pointing out to the pollution or other aspects of it.
00:57And therefore, I did not impose any restrictions on this.
01:00So there was full enthusiasm that was seen.
01:03Let's listen in to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath.
01:08Dhanteras, Yogi Adityanath.
01:11Dhanteras, Yogi Adityanath.
01:49Dhanteras, Yogi Adityanath.
02:08Dhanteras, Yogi Adityanath.
02:13Dhanteras, Yogi Adityanath.
02:18He wants to say that U.S. has seen that on Dhanteras, their market was bustling many people claim.
02:23The pollution occurred on Diwali.
02:25He further says that if it happened, it was clear up as well.
02:29It sounds great.
02:30People burst plenty of firecrackers.
02:32He was also in Ayodea.
02:34Whenever a festival is celebrated, people suddenly start noticing pollution.
02:37And it does not impose any restrictions on associations.
02:39The festivals wholeheartedly.
02:41That's what UPCM Yogi Adityanak has to say over people who are concerned about the AQI, over pollution, especially around
02:49the Diwali and during that particular moment when the firecrackers are being bucked.
02:54We have seen a lot of campaigns being run on social media as well and now UPCM Yogi Adityanak is
02:59connected away, taking all of these things into the world and clearly considering Diwali festival with firecrackers bursting and completely
03:05justifying this particular moment.
03:07Not just that he even further takes on Samajwadi Party and Congress Party and clearly says that just like Munna
03:13Bhai, NBBS Kimmler, Munna Bhai was treated in the government before 2017, the recruitment process functioned the same way.
03:19One person would take the exam and someone else would secure the appointment. So that's what he has to say.
03:24He even clearly calls out the corruption, the pollution of corruption that was in the previous government.
03:30He refers to Samajwadi Party especially and he clearly says that no one talked about that pollution and now they
03:36are worried about the pollution that happened for just one day on Diwali, a festival of Hindu people. Back to
03:42you.
03:42Samarit is tracking all the latest on that. Remember, this is also at a time when the state of Uttar
03:46Pradesh is heading for the next assembly elections and catering to very clearly the Hindu community here celebrating their festival.
03:54That's often been targeted for different reasons. U.P. Chief Minister says, I'm not going to put restrictions. It's a
03:59day of festivities. Pollution already was there. And if it has increased, it will also dissipate.
04:03Remember, this is a clear political social messaging that is coming in because the U.P. Chief Minister also has
04:08ensured Uttar Pradesh is now promoted for religious tourism as well.
