Govt slams New York Times for criticising Yogi as UP CM
The Centre has slammed US daily The New York Times over its editorial criticising PM Narendra Modi for choosing Yogi Adityanath as Uttar Pradesh's Chief Minister. Modi's choice of "firebrand Hindu cleric" as UP CM was a "shocking rebuke" to minorities, the editorial read. "The wisdom in doubting the verdicts of genuine democratic exercises...is questionable," the External Affairs Ministry said.
