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.
