Schooling Kejriwal over principles, UP CM said the formed had made compromises with ideology to gain power but he will not do so.

“I am a Yogi. Principles matter to me and not Power. It is the opposition's propaganda that I will be removed as CM after the Lok Sabha elections. My duty is to back the party morally unlike Kejriwal,” he said while talking with Aaj Tak.
