Lucknow (UP): Twitter users on Tuesday had a field day after a viral video of Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath sent the internet into a split as he was left behind by PM Modi’s convoy. Adityanath had to walk behind Modi’s car to get to PM.

The incident took place when PM Modi arrived in Sultanpur to inaugurate the 341-KM long Purvanchal Highway. UP CM Adityanath had arrived to welcome the PM. “He had to run behind his car to get him,” Arrow News’ official handle captioned the video.

The video soon went viral across social media platforms and users took it to their advantage to have a field day. While a few users mocked Adityanath over the video and his state in the party, others claimed that he was purposefully sidelined by the Prime Minister.

Some of the users also opined that nobody can stand in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and that he has always sidelined people who pose threat to his stature.

While most of the tweets were funny and the video was used in light humor, former UP Chief Minister and Samajwadi Party supremo Akhilesh Yadav took a sly dig at the CM adding that PM Modi had stripped off Modi of the power before the people of the country could do so.

Akhilesh used lines from Hindi poetry to take a dig at the UP CM.

Pathanamthitta(Kerala) (PTI): A Kerala court on Wednesday granted bail to expelled Congress MLA Rahul Mamkootathil in the third sexual assault case against him, in which he was arrested earlier this month.

The bail was granted by the Pathanamthitta District Sessions Court, which was considering an appeal filed by the MLA against a judicial magistrate's court that had denied him relief, stating that the allegations against him were serious and that he had "similar antecedents".

The third sexual assault case was registered against the Palakkad MLA under Sections 376 (rape) and 506(1) (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), following a complaint lodged by a woman from Kottayam district on 8 January. He was arrested in the case on January 11 in Palakkad.

The Kerala High Court and a sessions court in Thiruvananthapuram had earlier protected the MLA from arrest in the first two sexual assault cases, which were registered based on complaints from two different women.
