An eventful year saw BJP's rise and fall, temple-mosque disputes which are still going on

LUCKNOW: The grand inauguration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, a spate of temple-mosque disputes, a series of abandoned temple discoveries and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's slogan of "batenge to katenge" (divided we fall).

Yes, because these developments grabbed attention and helped set the narrative—political or otherwise—not just in the country's most populous state but beyond as well.

But there was more to the year for the state that witnessed some heart-wrenching tragedies—a deadly stampede in Hathras claimed 121 lives in July and 10 infants were charred to death in a fire in Jhansi medical college's neonatal ward in November.
