Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on 13 February (Tuesday) said it is the victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that Congress president Rahul Gandhi described himself as a “Janeudhaari Hindu”.

“It our victory that Rahul Gandhi, whose ancestors used to say that they are 'accidental Hindus', today says that he is a 'Janeudhaari Hindu',” Adityanath was quoted by the New Indian Express as saying while addressing a rally in Tripura’s Sabroom.
