The war of words is heating up in Assembly election-bound Karnataka. The Congress has released a one-minute video alleging Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had put together a communal cauldron with “zero attention to development”. This after the UP CM asked if his Karnataka counterpart Siddaramaiah was really a Hindu, as he endorsed beef. This led to the latter saying he is a Hindu who follows humanism, as against communalism.

Adityanath responded that Karnataka had witnessed the maximum farmer suicides.
