The bulldozer found its way into the election and political lexicon of Uttar Pradesh and further across India after its massive political use by UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath of the BJP. While bulldozers are routinely used across India to remove illegal constructions,the bulldozer in this case has been used as an extrajudicial tool and a power statement against criminals,communal violence rioters and accused criminals. Following its usage in political messaging in Uttar Pradesh,the bulldozer was used in Madhya Pradesh to convey political messages aimed at showing a strong stance against criminals. Narratives conveyed that a lot of the usage of the bulldozer was itself communal in nature. Critics argue that giving up on the rule of law and adopting "bulldozer justice" is the initial move toward an authoritarian society. In such a society,the safety,life,and liberty of individuals would depend on the arbitrary decisions of state officials.
