Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday took a swipe at his Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee and said he did not allow any change in Durga Puja timings in his state to accommodate Muharram processions. “In the last few years, Mamata Banerjee imposed certain restrictions on Durga puja.
