“Yogi Adityanath’s government arrested vendors selling crackers while Yogi himself was found lighting crackers during Diwali”
What FACTLY found
Video showing Yogi Adityanath lighting crackers is actually from Deepostav organized on 04 August 2020 to commemorate Bhoomi Puja at Ayodhya Ram Temple. However, in a separate incident, police arrested a vendor for selling crackers in Bulandshahr despite a ban. But both these are unrelated events and cannot be compared to claim the hypocrisy of the government regarding the ban on crackers
