Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath of Uttar Pradesh shares a special bond with his beloved pets, Gullu and Kalu, two energetic black Labradors. Despite his tough image as a no-nonsense administrator, Yogi Adityanath is known for his affection towards animals. Kalu, a pure vegetarian, delights in paneer, milk, roti, and temple-prepared food, reflecting his peaceful nature. Gullu, on the other hand, is described as restless, adding a dynamic contrast to Kalu's playful demeanour. These dogs, along with his previous pet Raja, are a part of Yogi Adityanath's daily routine, which includes feeding gur (jaggery) to cattle and engaging in playful activities with his furry companions. His compassion extends beyond his pets, as he supports animal trusts that care for injured or abandoned animals.
