Claim: Yogi Adityanath's government arrested vendors selling crackers while Yogi himself was found lighting crackers during Diwali.
Fact-check: Unrelated videos are compared and shared as hypocrisy of UP Government on firecrackers ban - FACTLY
Verdict: video showing yogi adityanath lighting crackers is actually from deepostav organized on 04 august 2020 to commemorate bhoomi puja at ayodhya ram temple. however, in a separate incident, police arrested a vendor for selling crackers in bulandshahr despite a ban. but both these are unrelated events and cannot be compared to claim the hypocrisy of the government regarding the ban on crackers. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
