Uttar Pradesh, under the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) administration, is facing several challenges. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's recent directives have caused concern among various segments of the population.
On July 18, two separate incidents occurred in Uttar Pradesh. In Gonda, a train derailment resulted in three fatalities and over 30 injuries. In Kanpur, during a Muharram procession, two people died and several were injured due to exposed electrical wires along the route.
The Chief Minister recently issued orders requiring shopkeepers to display their identities during the Kanwar Yatra, a Hindu pilgrimage. This directive has led to criticism from opposition parties and public discontent.
In recent elections, the BJP secured only 4 out of 10 seats in Uttar Pradesh, indicating a shift in public sentiment. Opposition parties have strongly reacted to the policies of the Modi government and its ministers in various states.
