Yogi Adityanath

Yogi "Start A Communal Riot" Adityanath (Hindi: योगी आदित्यनाथ) , whose birth name is Ajay Singh Bisht (Hindi: अजय सिंह बिष्ट), is a batshit insane militant Hindutva Monk who is hell-bent on turning India into a Hindu nation.
He is the current Chief Minister of the Indian state of under the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
==(Mis)Handling of the pandemic==
To say that Yogi Adityanath handled the pandemic "poorly" would be like saying that jumping off a skyscraper only hurts a "little." Is it any surprise that Uttar Pradesh became one of the second-worst-hit states of coronavirus in India?
In 2020, while people were dying in hospitals and the Indian government was rounding everyone up to impose a total lockdown, Yogi spent only 4% of his advertising budget on coronavirus awareness and relief campaigns.https://www.newslaundry.com/2021/08/03/in-pandemic-year-up-spent-just-4-of-its-ad-money-on-covid-awareness-and-relief-campaigns The remaining budget was used to fund TV and full-page newspaper propaganda advertisements in order to keep approval ratings high when people were dying less from the virus itself but more from the oxygen shortage crisis caused by poor planning and infrastructure, which — not surprisingly — was entirely Yogi's fault.https://www.newslaundry.com/2021/06/18/staring-at-opposition-adityanath-and-yeddyurappa-boast-about-fighting-covid-in-fullpage-adshttps://www.newslaundry.com/2021/06/04/up-model-of-covid-control-uttar-pradesh-govt-takes-out-full-page-advertorial-in-toi-lucknowhttps://www.newslaundry.com/2021/05/19/how-adityanath-sold-pr-as-covid-management-in-moradabad
During the Delta wave in early to mid-2021, Uttar Pradesh took the brunt of the COVID surge. Why, you ask? Simple. Many of the state's hospitals completely ran out of oxygen, and refused to admit new patientshttps://indianexpress.com/article/india/coronavirus-up-health-system-overrun-many-fail-to-get-beds-7283829/ and complained how the state government effectively hung them out to dry.https://www.thequint.com/coronavirus/lucknow-hospitals-refuse-admission-due-to-a-lack-of-oxygen-cyl Instead of doing what a decent person would have and procuring supplies to save lives in Uttar Pradesh, Yogi did what any good politician in his situation would, by lying that there was "no oxygen shortage in any COVID hospital" and threatening to seize the property of those requesting oxygen for 'spreading rumours'.Oxygen shortage | Seize property of those spreading rumours: Yogi Adityanath "The Hindu" When hospitals themselves put up notices that they literally couldn't admit patients anymore because there was no more oxygen, he took another leaf out of the quintessential dictator's playbook by filing criminal charges against them. What, you may ask, is the charge? "Spreading false rumors." Okay, Yogi. Suuuuure.
But wait, it gets even worse.
Not only did Yogi utterly bungle-up the response, but his state government also actively tried to hide and fudge COVID-19 data to avoid accountability for having the second-worst record on handling the virus out of any other states. There were large discrepancies in the official death figures from the government data and the number of bodies being cremated and buried.https://www.newslaundry.com/2021/05/01/ups-meerut-is-reporting-seven-times-fewer-covid-deaths This was found especially in BJP-ruled states because if there's one thing that the BJP loves, it's censorship for a cause.https://theprint.in/opinion/benfords-law-detects-data-fudging-so-we-ran-it-through-indian-states-covid-numbers/673085/
Not surprisingly, photos of crematoria, funeral piles, and dead bodies floating in the holy Ganges river hit the Internet and spread like wildfire through the media.https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-57154564 Of course, the government and its propaganda machine couldn't let the truth slide, and responded by accusing those media houses of "behaving like vultures", "disrespecting Hindu culture", and "plotting to undermine India".https://www.newslaundry.com/2021/04/27/why-are-journalists-showing-grisly-visuals-of-covid-funerals As he realized that covering up the coronavirus might have been hurting his dwindling public perception, Adityanath then proceeded to implement even more measures — which, not surprisingly, weren't against the virus — by blocking the view of those crematoriums with metal blue sheets and disallowing people and journalists from entering them.https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/lucknows-cover-up-move-after-dramatic-videos-of-crematorium-amid-covid-2414380
==Cows ≥ Humans==
Adityanath is known for giving more importance to the welfare of the Cows instead of Humans.

UP was also among the worst-hit Indian states by the coronavirus.https://www.newslaundry.com/topic/up-covid-disaster Amid this humanitarian crisis caused by escalating cases and a crippling shortage of medical supplies, Yogi Adityanath seemed more concerned about protecting the local stray cow population and his own public image, ordering directives to set up help-desks and protection centres for cows equipped with vital medical equipment such as oximeters and thermal scanners.Yogi Adityanath : Help desks for cows in every Uttar Pradesh district Times of India Over 5,268 such cow protection centres were built, to protect around 5,73,417 cattle in the state.
In November 2021, Uttar Pradesh became the first Indian state to make a separate ambulance service for cows; with more than five hundred special ambulances each would be containing a veterinary and two assistants.https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/uttar-pradesh-news-laxmi-narayan-chaudhary-uttar-pradesh-to-start-first-in-the-country-ambulance-service-for-cows-2610805 You don't even need satire in Yogi Adityanath's Uttar Pradesh.

===Islamophobia===
Ajay Bisht also praised Donald Trump’s Islamophobic policy that banned citizens from 7 Muslim majority countries entering the US and called for India to do the same.https://www.livemint.com/Politics/nbJ7JKMgnTh0WFTUmdauzN/UP-CM-Yogi-Adityanath-admires-Donald-Trumps-travel-ban.html
At a rally, he asked his audience to organise themselves to fight Muslims as “Hindu culture and Muslim culture can never coexist.” Another speaker at the rally suggests Muslim women be taken out of their graves and be raped. Yet another speaker at the same event states that after the formation of Hindu Rahstra, Muslims will be reduced to 2nd class citizens and their voting rights will be removed.https://www.altnews.in/rally-adityanath-says-hindu-muslim-cultures-can-never-co-exist-co-speaker-asks-raping-muslim-women/
===Anti Romeo Squad===
As the self-appointed guardian of Hindu culture, Adityanath has created "Anti Romeo Squad", a moral policing squad, that patrols Parks, Movie Theatres and College Campuses to give "red cards" to eve-teasers and to harass unmarried couples.UP's anti-Romeo squads: Sobering reminder of how far moral policing has gone in IndiaMathrubhumi

Despite his genius efforts, Uttar Pradesh remains one of the most dangerous places for women in India.
In 2005, Adityanath conducted a purification drive [colloquially referred to as (Hindi: घर वापसी, "returning home")] to convert 1,800 Christians to Hinduism.10 Things to Know About Yogi Adityanath, the Next UP CMNews 18
