What did the MP say that made UP's CM laugh

During the inauguration of Gorakhnath Ghat and Sri Ram Ghat on the banks of Rapti river, MP Ravi Kishan called upon the public to maintain cleanliness at the ghats if they wanted to reach heaven directly after death.

Gorakhpur:Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday laughed at a statement made by BJP MP Ravi Kishan at the inauguration ceremony of Guru Gorakhnath Ghat and Sri Ram Ghat on the banks of Rapti river in Gorakhpur.

During the welcome address at the ceremony, MP Ravi Kishan called upon the public to maintain the cleanliness of the ghats built on the Rapti river in Bhojpuri and said that everyone has a chance to visit the ghat of Rapti river. Everybody would come and live here. If you die here then you will directly go to heaven. But heaven will be achieved by only those who maintain the cleanliness of the ghat and not dirty it.

Hearing his message, everyone including Chief Minister Yogi burst out laughing.

When the Chief Minister came to the stage he said that two years ago the river Rapti used to be very dirty due to which people coming for the funeral of their relatives felt very uncomfortable.

They did not get clean ghat to take bath and had to think 10 times where to bathe. Even though it is the truth the everyone who is born will die but while we hear, we should make sure that our surroundings are clean, CM Yogi said.
