Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath celebrates Diwali every year with members of the Vantangiya community. Behind this tradition is a relationship that goes back nearly 20 years. Even before becoming Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath had been visiting this community and sharing the joy of the festival with them.
The history of the Vantangiya community is linked to families who lived in forests and sustained their livelihoods there. For a long time, these families faced problems such as lack of basic facilities and the absence of revenue village status. Yogi Adityanath’s association with the community began during this period. He raised their rights and problems on public platforms and maintained regular contact with them.
Even after becoming Chief Minister, he continued the tradition of visiting Vantangiya villages on Diwali. The programme includes celebrating Deepotsav with villagers, meeting children and interacting with local people.
For the Vantangiya community, this event is not limited to celebrating a festival; it is also connected with their social inclusion and identity. This relationship, continuing for nearly two decades, is now seen as a special Diwali tradition.
