"As per tradition I offered the cap to Chief Minster Yogi Adityanath when he visited the mausoleum of Kabir saheb but he politely refused while smiling," he said.

Sant Kabirnagar (UP):  Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath chose not to wear a cap offered to him at the mausoleum of Sant Kabir Das here. According to news agency PTI, The chief minister was here yesterday evening to oversee preparations for the prime minister's visit to the mausoleum of the mystic poet and was offered a fur cap by Khadim Hussain, the caretaker, which he politely refused. "As per tradition I offered the cap to Chief Minster Yogi Adityanath when he visited the mausoleum of Kabir saheb but he politely refused while smiling," he said.
Yogi, however, kept the cap with him and left after paying obeiscance . The incident brings back memories of then Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi who had refused to wear a skullcap offered to him by a Muslim cleric during a fast for social harmony in Ahmedabad.
