Mahua Moitra, a member of the Trinamool Congress, criticised Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath regarding the alleged involvement of local Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders in the gang-rape of a BHU student, asking how much time will it take to run a bulldozer on their properties.
“Thok dijiye, Sir. Is Baar Bulldozer Chalaane Mein Itni Der Kyon?” the expelled TMC MP wrote on X while sharing pictures of the accused with Yogi Adityanath.
Adityanath, after taking over as the chief minister in 2017, had said in an interview: “Agar aparadh karenge, toh thok diye jayenge (if anyone commits a crime, he will be shot dead)”.
