A video has surfaced on social media purportedly showing Uttar Pradesh minister of state for horticulture (independent charge), Dinesh Pratap Singh, chanting religious slogans during a seminar at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU).
The incident occurred on Friday during a divisional industrial advancement seminar held at AMU’s Kennedy Auditorium. The programme was organised to highlight the achievements and development initiatives of both the Central and Uttar Pradesh governments. The seminar primarily focused on industrial growth, investment promotion and the government’s development agenda for the region.
Singh, who attended the seminar as the chief guest, spoke about government policies and regional development programmes and concluded his speech by chanting the slogans “Jai Shri Ram” and “Har Har Mahadev.”
A video capturing the minister raising these slogans from the stage later surfaced online and was widely shared across social media platforms.
