“What if Bengal used Bhogiji Ajay Bisht’s model & sent bulldozers to homes of BJP workers who destroyed public property yesterday?”, Mahua Moitra said.
Without naming the RSS, Mahua Moitra asked if the BJP will stand by its own policy or involve the RSS.
“Will BJP stand by own policy or get their chadds in a twist?,” the TMC MP said.

Yogi Model: UP CM Yogi Adityanth is known for his no-nonsense policy against those who sabotage public property during protests. The Yogi Model is simply razing down illegal construction of those involved in anti-social activities. According to a report dated 5 July 2022, illegal property worth RS 844 crore has been destroyed by the state administration. However, those who are critical of the Yogi government have slammed the practice claiming it to be a targeted attack on members of one particular community.
