UP CM Yogi Adityanath targets Bengal ahead of polls

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has made a provocative statement targeting political opponents in West Bengal ahead of upcoming state elections. He dismissed concerns about criticism from Muslim clerics, stating, "No need to worry about what any Maulana is saying." Adityanath declared that once a BJP government is formed in Bengal, such critics will be seen "sweeping the streets." The remarks are seen as a direct challenge to the ruling Trinamool Congress and part of the BJP's aggressive campaign rhetoric in the state.
