“Yogi Adityanath Ji Maharaj, the popular and successful Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh has made many efforts for the honor, respect, women empowerment and security of the daughters and sisters of his state and is also making efforts. But see how some cheap street reels are using Yogi ji for a few views. Not only this, how videos of Prime Minister and Mahatma Gandhi are being edited and uploaded for cheap popularity,” Rathore said in a post on X.

She further questioned the Ballia police, asking, “When will action be taken against this cheap street reeler?”

Anil Kumar Jha also assured that police are investigating the case and that legal action will be taken against those found guilty.

During the recent Lok Sabha elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reacted positively to an animated meme showing him dancing at a concert. The meme was based on a viral template featuring American rapper Lil Yachty. The response of PM Modi was directed at a social media user known for creating humorous edits of photos and videos.
