Tableau carrying parody of Yogi Adityanath, bulldozer, leads Dussehra procession in Mangaluru
Tableau was sponsored, presented by VHP, Bajrang Dal
Mangaluru: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath, known for his unorthodox and contrary-to-democratic principle governance, is among the figures glorified and glamorized by the fringe right-wing groups across the country. In another such incident of celebrating the UP CM and his model of governance, a tableau carrying a parody of him along with a bulldozer was part of the Dussehra Rally 2022 in Mangaluru.
In a viral video being shared across local social media platforms, a parody of Adityanath along with a bulldozer was seen being a part of the Dussehra Rally 2022 in Mangaluru on Tuesday evening.
In the video, a man dressed as CM Adityanath, surrounded by his bodyguards can be seen leading a tableau in the rally while a bulldozer was stalled on the same tableau behind the parody of Adityanath.
The tableau carrying the parody of Adityanath had the names of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal on it as seen in the video.
Verification of minute details from the video such as the names of shops that can be seen in the background revealed that the video was of Mangaluru and was shot in the Bajpe vicinity here in the city.
While the fringe Hindutva groups in the state have lately been calling the “Adityanath Model” of governance to be enforced in the state, several social media users condemned the move and expressed anguish over displaying of the parody in the Dussehra Rally in Mangaluru.

Teen dies in car stunt accident in Kerala, driver held
Thrissur (Kerala) (PTI): A man was arrested on Monday after a 14-year-old boy was killed when a car overturned during a stunt-driving incident at Chamakala Rajiv Road beach in Chentrappinni here, police said.
The arrested accused was identified as Shajeer alias Saddam (36), a native of Kurikkuzhi in Kaipamangalam.
According to police, the incident occurred around 6 pm on Sunday when the accused allegedly performed dangerous drifting manoeuvres with an open-top Gypsy vehicle at the beach, without following any safety norms.
The accused picked up three minors — Mohammed Sinan (14), Mohammed Shafeer (14) and Ameer (12) — who were playing at the beach, and made them sit at the rear of the vehicle before driving recklessly.
While performing the drifting stunt, the vehicle went out of control and overturned, trapping Sinan underneath.
He suffered severe head injuries and succumbed to the impact, police said.
Based on a complaint, Kaipamangalam police registered a case under Section 105 (culpable homicide) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
After completing the preliminary probe, police arrested Shajeer on Monday.
He was later produced before a court and remanded to judicial custody, police said.
The accused is involved in 11 criminal cases.
