Siddu's tweet effect?
LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who is currently on an election campaign in Karnataka, is rushing back tonight to visit storm-ravaged Agra, a senior official said today.
Adityanath was earlier scheduled to campaign in poll-bound Karnataka till Saturday noon.
Adityanath was criticised yesterday by Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for remaining in Karnataka even after his own state was hit by the storm.
At least 64 people have lost their lives due to a storm in Uttar Pradesh. My heartfelt condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones.
I am sorry your CM is needed here in Karnataka. I am sure he will return soon & attend to his work there. https:/t.co/RwgDrhdn82
