New Delhi: A full-page newspaper advertisement has sparked a debate on the internet. The Indian Express on Sunday published an advertisement consisting of a life-size photo of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath with a picture on the left corner that shows Kolkata’s Maa flyover and the other buildings in the area.

The adv released by the Uttar Pradesh government via Indian Expres focuses on the work done under Yogi Adityanath’s government over the last five years. The advertorial goes by the heading Transforming Uttar Pradesh under Yogi Adityanath.
