Tragedies have occurred under Congress rule too,” Shah said in a reaction to demands by the opposition Congress party for the resignation of Yogi Adityanath. The BJP president said the UP chief minister had not issued directives to celebrate Krishna Janmashtami despite the deaths of children at Gorakhpur. But Krishna Janmashtami has its place and August 15 has its place. Yogiji has not said that despite the death of the kids Krishna Janmashtami must be celebrated. Krishna Janmashtami will be celebrated on the basis of personal beliefs in the homes of people.
