New Delhi: It seems like the elevation of five-time Gorakhpur MP Yogi Adityanath to the post of BJP legislative party leader in Uttar Pradesh has come as as a surprise for Pakistan.

Yodi Adityaraj, who has on number of occasions, has never refrained himself for targetting Pakistan for letting its soil used by its terrorists against India, became the the party’s choice to lead the country’s most populous state.

His announcement for the top post in the state has drawn mixed response from Pakistan.

According to a Zee News report, a Pakistan newapaper has reportedly accused the newly-elected Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister of being anti-Muslims and a hardcore Hindu.

Pakistan-based 'The Nation' has reportedly said: "Prime Minister Narendra Modi picks Hindu hardliner Yogi Adityanath to lead Uttar Pradesh" whereas The Dawn said: "Hindu 'radical' nominated chief minister of India's most populous state".

Not only the above two, several other Pak-based newspapers too carrying rather 'not so welcome' news pieces on Yogi Adityanath's elevation as UP CM.

Well, looking at such developments, it would not be wrong to say that the surprising move by PM Narendra Modi of designating Yogi Adityanath as the Chief Minister of India's most populous state is not being enjoyed and is rather giving a tough time to Pakistan.
