While the city of Krishna is abuzz with Janmashtami festivities, Mathura has also become a focal point of political discourse. With elections approaching in UP, every party is promising a wave of development for Mathura. After offering prayers to Lord Krishna, Chief Minister Yogi remarked that while his side reveres Ram and Krishna, the opposition aligns with Babur and Aurangzeb. Yogi asserted that the ‘double-engine’ government would spare no effort in developing the Braj region in a manner that honors the sentiments of Mathura’s residents. Meanwhile, Akhilesh Yadav emphasized that the development of ‘Braj’ must not mean the neglect of the ‘Braj-vasis’. The question remains: will the road to power in UP run through Mathura this time?
