Yogi Adityanath's Brand Bulldozer: UP chief minister's Bengal campaign raises brows The ruling Trinamool Congress lost no time in criticising the BJP for bringing Uttar Pradesh’s “bulldozer politics” to BengalSnehamoy ChakrabortyA bulldozer with BJP flags and supporters at the venue of a campaign rally of Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath in Bankura’s Sonamukhi on Sunday ignited "bulldozer politics" in the Bengal elections. The ruling Trinamool Congress lost no time in criticising the BJP for bringing Uttar Pradesh’s “bulldozer politics” to Bengal. Yogi, who was in Bengal on Sunday, attended two more rallies in East Midnapore’s Nandakumar and Kanthi, apart from Bankura's Sonamukhi. Though Yogi did not comment on the bulldozer at Sonamukhi, when he went to Nandakumar, he invoked the “UP bulldozer” narrative to warn criminals in Bengal.
