However a fair larger query arose that despite having 10 Brahmin ministers within the Yogi executive and 46 Brahmin MLAs of the birthday celebration within the meeting, why did the BJP must shape a separate Brahmin committee?
Brahmin faces ineffectual?

After the come across of Vikas Dubey in Kanpur, Khushi Dubey is forcibly stored in prison. What’s his fault? BJP canceled the vacation of Parshuram Jayanti once the federal government got here.
