Yogi Adityanath's fondness for saffron has spilled over to government buildings and public transport.
Lucknow:
A toll plaza on the Muzaffarnagar-Saharanpur highway in Uttar Pradesh today got a fresh coat of saffron. The colour saffron has also covered a lot of buildings in the state ever since Yogi Adityanath took charge as UP Chief Minister in March last year.
His government's headquarters, the Lal Bahadur Shastri Bhawan in Lucknow - for decades seen only in white and blue - got an all-saffron coat in October last year.
Yogi Adityanath took over as Chief Minister of India's most populous state after his party, the BJP, won a massive victory in assembly polls.
A nearly 80-year-old police station in Lucknow was given a splash of the colour earlier this year. Around the same time, the Haj committee office's boundary walls in Lucknow were also painted saffron. It was later changed.
Even when a fleet of state-run buses was launched by Yogi Adityanath, they were painted saffron and ivory.
In meetings or press conferences, a saffron-coloured towel always drapes the Chief Minister's chair while for everyone else, it is white.
In the past, saffron towels, curtains and covers were sent to the home of a martyr just before the Chief Minister's visit.
Almost all booklets and posters issued by the government's public relations department and ministries have some element of saffron on cover pages.
