A mega oath-taking ceremony was held at Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee International Sports Stadium where along with Yogi Adityanath, 52 Ministers took the oath of office.

Back in November 2018, the Yogi Adityanath government had renamed Ekana International Stadium to 'Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee International Sports Stadium'.

War of words between the Samajwadi Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party leaders were witnessed then too.

The BJP retained power in Uttar Pradesh by winning 255 out of 403 constituencies, securing a 41.29 per cent vote share. (ANI)
