Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh – Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is under fire for allegedly targeting homes in Muslim-majority areas for demolition while sparing properties owned by BJP supporters. Critics argue that this selective demolition practice raises serious questions about fairness and justice in the state.

Controversial Demolitions

Recent demolitions in Uttar Pradesh have disproportionately affected Muslim communities, prompting accusations of bias and communal targeting. Many residents have voiced their concerns, claiming that their homes were demolished without proper notice or justification. Meanwhile, in a stark contrast, demolition efforts in areas inhabited by BJP voters were halted, with Yogi Adityanath assuring residents of their safety and protection.

Double Standards and Accountability

The perceived double standards in handling demolitions have led to widespread criticism from opposition parties and human rights organizations. They demand accountability and transparency in the process. The state government has yet to clarify who will compensate those whose homes were demolished. The lack of clear guidelines and compensation plans has further fueled the debate.
