ABP would like you to meet Yogi Adityanath’s barber

Just when you thought Big Media had covered all the relevant questions pertaining to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, ABP decided there is still one aspect of his, umm, appearance that needed probing. His hair.

A short bulletin on Yogi Adityanath’s hair begins thus: “Yogi ke baal kyun bade nahin hote? Yogi ke sir pe chote chote baal kyun dikhte hain? (Why is Yogi’s hair so short? Why does it not grow?)

 The reporter then goes on to introduce us to the CM’s barber, Bhagwat Sharma. We are informed that Yogi gets his hair done every Sunday, Wednesday and Friday – which apparently is part of Hindu “pratha” or custom. It is uncertain if Bhagwat would follow Yogi to Lucknow or the CM will get a new barber in the state capital, the voiceover informs us. If The Times of India report is to be believed, the CM seems to have found a barber in Lucknow already. Next, we’d like to know when he cuts his nails.
