Uttar Pradesh: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wedneday assured Yoga guru Baba Ramdev that Patanjali Ayurvda Limited Food Park won't be shifted outside the state. Yogi has also promised Ramdev to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Due to Uttar Pradesh government's disappointing attitude Patanjali was to shift its planned food park from Greater Noida. The decision came after Patanjali’s file was left unattended in UP Government’s office.
