— ANI (@ANI) December 5, 2024This is not the first time the Chief Minister has alleged "dividing forces" have a role to play in India. The BJP leader received major backlash for his slogan "batege toh katege" during the assembly elections in Maharashtra and Jharkhand.
Politicians from Maharashtra such as NCP leader Ajit Pawar and opposition leaders such as Malikarjun Kharge alleged that the UP CM was trying to incite communal tensions and create more religious divides with the slogan.
Talking about the communal tension in Bangladesh, Adityanath said ` similar elements are in play in India as well'.

The survey followed a format seen in other mosque surveys in the country as many alleged that the Shahi Jama Masjid was built after the demolition of a Hindu temple during the Mughal period.
