Lucknow: A Muslim fan of Yogi Adithyanath's has done the unimaginable by tattooing the leader's image on his chest.
23-year-old Yameen Siddiqui, who considers Yogi his role model, has gifted himself on Yogi's birthday a tattoo earlier this month.
Siddiqui, running a footwear business, lives in a village on the border of Farrukhabad and Mainpuri districts.
He admits that he has been facing a lot of criticism from his friends and relatives since he got the tattoo but he is not upset.
"My wish is to meet Yogi Adityanath and show him the tattoo. I have great love and respect for him. He has changed Uttar Pradesh ever since he came to power. There is no discrimination and Hindus and Muslims are getting benefits of all welfare schemes," Siddiqui says.
He refuses to talk about controversial issues like Gyanvapi mosque and the Mathura Eidgah. "That is for the court to decide."
