In the 2017 Assembly elections, the BJP had swept all eight constituencies in UP’s Lakhimpur Kheri district that shot to limelight in October last year following the mowing down of four farmers under an SUV during a protest against the central farm laws.
Addressing a rally in Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath said, “SP and BSP got boundary walls of kabristan (cemetery) constructed, so they should better ask for votes from kabristan.”
