NEW DELHI - India’s election commission on Monday banned firebrand Hindu nationalist Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath from campaigning for three days to stop him stoking hatred between religious communities in a divisive election that will end next month.
The commission said Adityanath, a holy man, had spoken about a “green virus” in a speech last week, apparently referring to Muslim voters who he said were being wooed by opposition parties. “The party believes in all-together development for all, and we don’t believe in any polarization,” the spokesman, Harish Srivastava, said.
