At the same time, bulldozer action was also seen on 4 SP leaders. Among these, two SP leaders are accused of rape. However, the most talked about action was the demolition of the platform of the statue of former minister and strongman leader Harishankar Tiwari in Gorakhpur. His son Vinayshankar Tiwari is also an MLA from SP.
First of all know about the bulldozer action on 4 SP leaders… 1. Harishankar Tiwari’s Platform: Preparations were underway for the birth anniversary of Harishankar Tiwari, a strongman leader in Tanda village. His statue was to be installed at the main gate of the village on the birth anniversary on 5 August. A 4-foot platform was ready, but the Gorakhpur administration bulldozed it.
Harishankar Tiwari has had a great status in Purvanchal. He was an MLA from 1985 to 2007. During this period, he was a minister in almost every government. He was a big face of the Brahmin community in politics. His reach in Gorakhpur increased so much that he created his own separate political ground equal to Gorakshapeeth.
Harishankar Tiwari died on 16 May 2023. With this, the battle for supremacy between Yogi and Harishankar Tiwari ended. Now this battle has emerged again after the bulldozer was run in Tanda village. There are by-elections on 10 seats in UP next month. It is believed that if the Brahmins get angry, BJP may suffer a big loss.
Harishankar Tiwari’s statue was to be installed at this place in his ancestral village Tanda, but the administration bulldozed the platform.
2. Moeed Khan: The shopping complex of SP leader Moeed Khan, accused of gangraping a 12-year-old minor in Ayodhya, was demolished on August 22. The 2-storey building was razed to the ground in 5 hours with the help of 3 JCBs and a Pokelin machine. The complex worth about Rs 3 crore was built in 4000 square feet.
The administration claimed that the shopping complex was built illegally on the pond and chak road. Its map was also not approved. 19 days before this, a bulldozer was run on the 3000 square feet bakery of SP leader Moeed Khan.
A case of gang rape of a minor came to light in Ayodhya on July 12. In this case, the police arrested SP leader Moeed and his servant Raju. CM Yogi Adityanath himself mentioned the incident in the assembly.

BJP and SP face to face on Supreme Court’s order on bulldozer action
Akhilesh Yadav welcomed the order of the Supreme Court
On the Supreme Court’s order to stop the bulldozer action till October 1, Akhilesh Yadav said- Bulldozer cannot be justice. It is unconstitutional, it was to scare people. The bulldozer was deliberately to suppress the voice of the opposition. I thank the Supreme Court for this order, which has stopped the bulldozer.
The CM, UP government and BJP people glorified ‘bulldozers’ as if it is justice. Now that the Supreme Court has given directions, I think the bulldozers will stop and justice will be done through the court.
BJP spokesperson supported the bulldozer action After the court’s order on the bulldozer action, BJP spokesperson Rakesh Tripathi said that running a bulldozer out of political bias or prejudice is wrong. In the BJP government, a bulldozer is not used on a criminal’s crime.
Bulldozers have been run on the encroachment of illegal construction of criminals within the ambit of law. He said- Bulldozers were run wrongly on the house of MLA Rampal Yadav during SP rule or on the house of Kangana Ranaut during Uddhav Thackeray rule. Everyone is waiting for the final order of the Supreme Court.
