The Story in Brief
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath responded with humour when a folk artist from Chhattisgarh praised the state's bulldozer action against criminals during an Independence Day cultural event in Lucknow. After the artist said the crackdown was commendable, CM Yogi replied, 'You can sing songs, I cannot, so I get bulldozers run over bad people.'
The remark drew laughter and applause from the audience at Vidhan Bhavan. Later, at his official residence, CM Yogi honoured the artists and students who performed. Aaj Tak reports the incident. The chief minister also posted on X, thanking participants for showcasing India's cultural heritage.
The Indian Opinion
The exchange was lighthearted, but the bulldozer remark stirs the familiar debate on extra-legal action. Supporters cheer it as tough law and order; critics see it as a dangerous politicisation of demolition drives. The courts are already testing individual cases. The question remains: will this remain a rhetorical flourish or expand into formal state policy?
