Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has been celebrating the festival of Diwali with the Vantangia families of Gorakhpur for the last several years. Explaining the reason behind this, he has said that the people of the Vantangia community have been away from their basic rights and government facilities for a long time after independence. Yogi has told that about 120 to 130 years ago, when these families were settled, the land on which they were settled, that land was not even given the status of revenue village for a long time.

After this, when the BJP government led by CM Yogi came in UP, they gave the status of revenue village to Vantangia villages. Along with this, he provided all the basic facilities to the Vantangia families and also got their names registered in the voter list. Let’s know who are the people of the Vantangia community?

Celebrating Diwali together for the last ten years

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that his association with the Vantangia community did not start after becoming the Chief Minister. He used to go to these families continuously in the past. He said that for the last ten years since he took over as the Chief Minister, he has been celebrating every Diwali with the Vantangia families.
