Gorakhpur: A 14-second clip of pure innocence has stolen the spotlight, where a heartwarming interaction between Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and a small child has gone viral, proving that even the most powerful leaders can’t win against the simple demands of a hungry toddler.

A Sweet Surprise 

The incident took place on January 15, 2026, at the Baba Gorakhnath Temple in Gorakhpur. 

The Chief Minister, who also serves as the Gorakshpeethadhishwar of the temple, was busy overseeing the Makar Sankranti celebrations and interacting with the thousands of devotees who had gathered to offer 'Khichdi.'

While the CM was seated and greeting families, a toddler was brought forward to receive his blessings.

The moment was caught in camera where Yogi Adityanath leaned in with a smile and asked the child a standard question: "Aur kya chahiye, batao?" (What else do you want?)

The child, visibly determined, leaned into the Chief Minister's ear and whispered a single word: "Chips."

This unexpected moment of innocence broke the formal atmosphere into fits of laughter. Touched by the child's honesty, Yogi Adityanath was seen laughing heartily before reportedly ensuring the little one's "demand" was met.

Social Media Reacts

The video quickly became a viral sensation, gathering millions of views across X and Instagram. 

"The ultimate negotiator," one user joked. "He could have asked for anything, but he knew his priorities."

Another user commented, "Yogi ji's 'respect button' for not just being a leader, but a 'Toffee Wale Baba' to these kids."

The humour didn't stop there, with some users playfully suggesting the child was asking for "Nano-chips for UP's development," while others debated the flavour, warning, "Don’t give him the green Lays, give him the red one!"

The "Toffee Wale Baba" Legacy

Residents noted that this isn't the first time the CM has shown his love for children. 

At the temple, he is frequently seen distributing chocolates and toffees to young visitors, earning him the affectionate nickname "Toffee Wale Baba" among local children.
