After MP, "The Kerala Story" To Be Tax-Free in UP, Says Yogi Adityanath
The recently released movie "The Kerala Story," which stars Adah Sharma, received tax exemption in Madhya Pradesh on May 06, a few days after its global theatrical debut.

Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the MP CM, announced the decision directly, saying, "The Kerala Story" exposes the conspiracy of Love Jihad, religious conversion, and terrorism. It brings to light the nasty face of these threats.
