The state government had organised a Diwali-eve celebration on November 3 and lit 9 lakh lamps, with Adityanath inaugurating the programme

Lucknow: On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had praised the way the Uttar Pradesh government had marked Diwali in Ayodhya by lighting hundreds of thousands of diyas, saying “Ayodhya is getting back its glory”.

On Saturday, a widely circulating video showed children collecting mustard oil from some of these diyas — presumably for cooking at their homes at a time mustard oil has gone beyond the poor’s reach — prompting several citizens to call it a “shame”.

A retired Uttar Pradesh bureaucrat, who tweeted the video, said the Yogi Adityanath government had “mocked” the poor by lighting “12 lakh diyas” in Ayodhya during Diwali.

“The government used 36,000 litres of mustard oil to light 12 lakh diyas. Thirty per cent people of this state don’t get roti every day. The government has mocked the state’s poor,” Surya Pratap Singh, who retired in 2015 as principal secretary, state education department, told reporters on Saturday.

The video showed children picking up lamps at Har Ki Paudi on the Saryu’s banks in Ayodhya and pouring the oil into cans and pots that they had brought along.

A strong wind had blown out most of the lamps; the children threw away the burning wicks of the rest with their bare hands.
