Kalu was gifted to UP CM Yogi in Delhi in 2016
The office-in-charge of the Goraksh temple, Dwarika Tiwari said, Yogi is also fond of Kalu. Tiwari said Kalu was brought to the Goraksh temple in December 2016 and Yogi Adityanath became a Chief Minister just after three months in March 2017.
As per sources, CM Yogi earlier owned a dog named Raja Babu and was reportedly very dismayed when the pet dog died. Tiwari said Kalu was gifted to Yogi in Delhi by a temple devotee. The black dog remained for some time in Delhi and was later brought to Gorakhpur.
Kalu extremely lucky for Yogi: Temple Devotees
Many devotees of the temple are all reportedly under the impression that Kalu has been extremely lucky for Yogi Adityanath. Before Yogi became the Chief Minister, he personally took care of Kalu and fed him. Kalu, according to several leading news daily, only eats vegetarian food. His primary diet consists of milk and roti or the food that is prepared in the temple. Yogi's aide Himalaya Giri takes care of the dog during his absence. Tiwari said special arrangements have been made for Kalu so that he does not have to face the adverse effects of the weather. The CM frequently visits Gorakhpur and whenever he does, Kalu rushes to meet him out of sheer excitement.
