Key themes from Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s campaign speech: “You must have seen what Kolkata’s mayor has said, that Urdu will be spoken here. Bengal’s identity is not with the Kaaba, Bengal’s identity is with Maa Kali. Cow slaughter is happening openly, and the same kind of lawlessness used to prevail in Uttar Pradesh before 2017. At that time, anyone who spoke the name of Ram was met with bullets and sticks. Today, the people of Uttar Pradesh are living in a new era of Ram Rajya. Mafia and goons who raise their heads anywhere are crushed by the UP bulldozer, which is used to break their bones and turn roads into highways. Today, cow slaughter does not happen there, and one slogan echoes: we will not allow cows to be slaughtered and we will not allow Hindus to be divided. In Bengal, any attempt to promote ‘kathmulla-pan’ must be stopped at all costs.”
