Overview
- Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath received a toy bulldozer from a five-year-old during a visit to the Gorakhnath temple in Gorakhpur.
- He smiled, gave her a chocolate, and handed the toy back after telling her to study hard.
- The child came from Kanpur with her family and told PTI he encouraged her to play with the toy at home.
- PTI filmed the exchange, and The Indian Express used the clip in coverage that centered his bulldozer persona.
- That persona stems from demolition drives against properties linked to alleged criminals, which Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has defended as preparing ground for development.
