Ahead of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's scheduled arrival in Chhattisgarh’s Bilaspur earlier today, BJP workers organized a spirited bulldozer rally, reflecting the party's campaign strategy centered around development and law enforcement.
The concept of using bulldozers as a symbol emerged from Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's campaign rhetoric, where he frequently highlighted the use of bulldozers not only for infrastructure projects but also to tackle criminal elements.
During his campaign speeches, Yogi Adityanath emphasized, "We have a special machine that we are using for building expressways and highways. At the same time, we are using it to crush the mafia who exploited people to build their properties." This message resonated with supporters and gradually turned the bulldozer into a symbolic representation of the BJP's approach.
On 24th February 2022, Adityanath reiterated this theme at a rally in Gosaiganj, Ayodhya, stating, "UP ki majboori hai, bulldozer bahut zaroori hai" (the bulldozer is a necessity for UP), further cementing its significance in the party's narrative.
