In Chillupar, there’s angst over the Adityanath government’s ‘casteist approach’

The Hindu  

“Jahan Brahmin raha wahan sarkar bani,” thundered Vinay Shankar Tiwari, Brahmin strongman and Samajwadi Party candidate from Gorakhpur’s Chillupar constituency, weather vane of the community’s angst against what’s perceived in some sections as the Yogi Adityanath government’s casteist approach. However, Mr. Vinay Shankar Tiwari’s supporters say the victory irked Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who targeted the “Brahmin sirmaur” as Mr. Vinay Shankar Tiwari is known to his acolytes, just after he came to power. Mr. Vinay Shankar Tiwari said the way the CM brought bulldozers into the political narrative in the State, it seemed as if he didn’t believe in the judiciary. When it’s pointed out that BJP flags were missing on the rooftops in the area, Mr. Tripathi said this was the handiwork of Mr. Vinay Shankar Tiwari’s men.
