UP Assembly Elections 2022: After the video went viral, the Information and Public Relations Department of Uttar Pradesh tweeted screenshots of news reports and said they are "baseless and false".
A widely circulated video of stray cattle reportedly released by farmers near the venue of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's rally in Barabanki to highlight the stray cattle menace, is "baseless" and "untrue", the Uttar Pradesh government has said.
The video tweeted by farmer leader Ramandeep Singh Mann yesterday showed hundreds of unattended cattle in a field.
"Before Yogi Adityanath's event in Barabanki, farmers drove hundreds of cattle from the fields and left them near the rally site. The farmers couldn't find a way out to handle these stray cattle," Mr Mann tweeted. "For five years the UP government also couldn't find a solution. The farmers wanted to see what solution the BJP brings before the event," he tweeted.
