CM Yogi Adityanath attacks Rahul Gandhi’s “Raja, Maharaja” remarks

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his recent remarks about Indian heritage, particularly on Raja and Maharaja, stating that "accidental Hindus" like Gandhi cannot appreciate the rich traditions of India.
