A subsequent clip from a recent public interaction involving Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath added a fresh, heartwarming layer to a moment that had already gone viral.
The incident took place at the Baba Gorakhnath temple in Gorakhpur where the chief minister was participating in the annual Khichdi festival. In an earlier clip, the toddler amused everyone by whispering “chips” when asked what he wanted, prompting laughter from the crowd and an amused reaction from Yogi Adityanath.

The simple gesture, which was met with shy smiles and visible excitement, became the highlight of the latest clip making the rounds online.

Some of the comments were playful and political. “This is how you win hearts – one stack of chips at a time,” read one post.

Meanwhile, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said that Uttar Pradesh is the biggest “consumer market” in the healthcare sector as he inaugurated the three-day “UP Health Tech Conclave”, news agency PTI reported.
Addressing the event, Adityanath said, “This conclave is important for us as Uttar Pradesh is the largest consumer market in this sector” and emphasized that UP with its population of 250 million also bears the burden of providing healthcare facilities to neighboring states and a neighboring country (Nepal).
Claiming significant changes in the health sector before the formation of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi government in 2014 and the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh in 2017, he said the state in collaboration with the Center has been able to transform the sector in the last eight to nine years.
“Before 2017, there were a total of 40 medical colleges in Uttar Pradesh, including both government and private institutions, and today there are 81 fully functional medical colleges, two AIIMS and more than 100 government-run district hospitals in Uttar Pradesh,” he pointed out.
Adityanath said the state has a long chain of primary health centers (PHCs), community health centers (CHCs) and wellness centers that provide health facilities in remote areas.
Referring to the Prime Minister’s Ayushman Bharat Yojana (PM-JAY), Adityanath said that due to the vast changes in the country in the last 11 years, providing healthcare facilities to the people has become much easier.
