Being a yogi, CM doesn’t know difference between obscenity and family: Ranjeet Ranjan

What could this lead to?

This could spoil children’s future… Your party has been supported by youth who could turn against you; you are murdering the democracy that brought you to power.

If these moves are unpopular, why would a government take them?

I think it comes out of narrow-mindedness. It’s regressive too. It could be because some people in the Sangh or his own Hindu Yuva Vahini want it. They don’t want a girl and a boy to walk together even if they are siblings. I want to ask if this country has become Taliban.

The home minister said the focus of the BJP government in UP will be welfare for all.

There is always a difference between what they say and what they do. If you listen to the prime minister’s speeches during elections and after elections, there is a lot of difference. While the PM was speaking about Sab ka saath, sab ka vikas at the party office, Yogiji was targeting a particular community and castes.

You mentioned a crackdown on slaughterhouses, calling it a move against particular communities.

The government is defending its actions saying it was on their agenda. Were these the only issues on their agenda – anti Romeo squads and slaughterhouses? What about loan waiver for farmers? They promised power, roads and jobs.
