Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath during his morning walk at the Gorakhnath Temple on Friday.

The chief minister’s Office later shared the interaction on social media platform X, describing the gesture as “a symbol of great trust” and “an innocent expression of trust”. It said the girl, identified as Yashaswini from Kanpur, had met the chief minister during his morning visit to the temple."
