‘BJP establishing defence corridor’
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday targeted the Samajwadi Party, saying that during its rule there were illegal country-made pistol ( tamancha) factories in Kanpur but his BJP dispensation is establishing a defence corridor.
Addressing an election meeting here, he said, “Under the previous government, there were factories of tamancha in Kanpur. Their name is Samajwadi’, work is tamanchawadi and thinking is pariwarvadi. Our government is making a defence corridor. Now, the youth of Kanpur will sit on tanks made in Kanpur, enter into the boundary of the enemy, and will raise the war cry for Bharat Mata.” Mr. Adityanath said the same set of people also tried to mislead people on the coronavirus vaccine, calling it “Modi vaccine”.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
