Mango lovers will get to relish a "slender" and "beautiful" mango this summer - a "Yogi mango" named after Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

The mango variety has been developed by the city's famous mango grower Padamshri Haji Kalimullah.

Kalimullaha, 74, who had earlier named mangoes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and actresses, has developed the "Yogi mango" in his orchard in the Dussehri mango belt in Malihabad area.

The "Yogi mango", he says, is grown naturally, is slender and beautiful and is a hybrid of the famous Dussehri mango variety.

The mango grower had earlier named mangoes after Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai and cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar.
