After Modi's lookalike, Yogi's doppelganger to contest from Lucknow seat

Suresh Thakur keeps a tonsured head like the UP CM, and also sports saffron robes with a matching 'gamcha' around the neck. But he doesn't idolise Adityanath, and reveres Lord Buddha instead.

First, it was Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s lookalike, Abhinandan Pathak, who filed his nomination on April 12 from Lucknow. And now, another 'double' so to speak, this time of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, has filed his nomination from the prestigious Lucknow parliamentary constituency. 

 

Suresh Thakur alias Yodha filed his nomination papers yesterday, the last day to apply for candidature in the the fifth phase of polling scheduled on May 6.
