Lucknow, Sept. 1 -- Uttar Pradesh Congress president and former minister Ajay Rai on Tuesday filed a defamation case against Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, alleging that remarks made against him over eating fish in Ayodhya were false and objectionable.
Rai filed the defamation claim in a civil court in Lucknow, saying the allegations had caused him hurt and were aimed at damaging his public image and reputation.
The Congress leader alleged that false facts were presented about him and said making baseless allegations against a person in public life was a serious matter.
Rai said he had approached the court to seek legal remedy and would respond to the allegations through the judicial process.
