Speaking to ABP News channel on August 5, CM Adityanath said: "Dekhiye, agar aap mujhse ek mukhyamantri ke roop mein poochhenge toh mujhe kisi mazhab, sampraday se koi parhez nahi hai. Agar ek Yogi ke roop mein poochhenge toh katai nahi jaoonga (if you ask me as a CM, then I will not maintain a distance from any religion or group. But if asked (to attend) as a Yogi, then I will definitely not go)."
"I will not go because I am a Yogi. As a Hindu, I have a right to live according to my method of worship," he added.
Addressing the nation as part of the Bhoomi Pujan of Ram Temple, the CM had said: "The 'Bhoomi Pujan' will not only mark the beginning of the construction of the Ram temple but also 'Ram Rajya' as envisaged by the Prime Minister."
