Video: 5-year-old gifts toy bulldozer to Yogi Adityanath, he has an advice for her

A five-year-old girl on Friday presented a toy bulldozer to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath during his visit to the Gorakhnath Temple in Uttar Gorakhpur, in a gesture that quickly drew attention on social media.

Accompanied by her family, the Yashasvini from Kanpur approached the chief minister amid tight security at the temple premises and handed over the miniature bulldozer. He returned it to the girl, asking her to study well and play with the bulldozer.

The bulldozer has become a symbol often associated with Adityanath’s governance style, under which properties linked to those accused of crimes have been demolished, a practice the opposition has frequently criticised as "bulldozer raj".
