Rampur: Days, after the BJP stormed back to power in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, outgoing minister Baldev Singh Aulakh, has found himself mired in controversy over remarks made during a victory address. The lawmaker who won by a slim margin against Samajwadi Party’s Amarjit Singh hit out at the Muslim community, contending that the “bulldozer will run faster now” since Muslims didn’t back BJP.The BJP leader said that his party had wanted to support the community, but had witnessed a lack of support. He also noted that a large section of the community had benefited from schemes initiated by the BJP-led government. “We provided ration, medical treatment, houses, etc, to all, including Muslims, yet they tried their best to defeat the BJP. Now, we’ll have to think about them,” he was quoted as saying in a Times of India report. During the recent elections, Yogi Adityanath had been referred to as “bulldozer baba” due to frequent references of his government deploying bulldozers to demolish the ill-gotten property of criminals and mafias in the state. The moniker had caught on quickly, being utilised by the party during poll rallies and even as tattoos by supporters in the wake of its win. In UP’s Badaun district, overzealous BJP workers even crushed a row of bicycles with a bulldozer to celebrate their party’s success. The bicycle incidentally is the Samajwadi Party’s poll symbol. A video of the celebrations has since been widely shared on social media.Related NewsYogi Adityanath meets PM Modi in Delhi, may discuss govt formation in Uttar PradeshReports suggest that the newly elected UP government will take oath after Holi.
