Lucknow: Photographs of Uttar Pradesh minister Swati Singh purportedly inaugurating a beer bar have gone viral on social media stirring a controversy with the opposition parties on Tuesday questioning if this is the true face of the BJP government.

The development has prompted Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to seek a report.


"The CM has taken a cognisance of the minister inaugurating a beer bar in the presence of senior officers and sought a clarification from them," an official spokesman said here tonight.

In the pictures, Singh is seen cutting a ribbon with a group of people, including some bureaucrats, standing alongside her.

Swati, wife of Dayashankar Singh who was suspended for allegedly making derogatory remarks against BSP supreme Mayawati, is said to have 'inaugurated' the bar on May 20.

She was not immediately available for a comment. Taking the opportunity to attack the Yogi Adityanath government, opposition parties questioned if this is the real face of the new dispensation.
