UP Polls: COVID Norms Flouted During Amit Shah's Campaign in Kairana

Even Election Commission's five-person limit on door-to-door campaigning due to the third wave was violated.

Picking up the issue of an alleged exodus of Hindus from Uttar Pradesh’s Kairana before 2017, an issue that has been repeatedly debunked, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday, 22 January, began his door-to-door election campaign in western Uttar Pradesh, claiming an improvement in law and order in the state.

What’s more, in photos and videos posted on Shah’s Twitter handle, Shah along with other Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders can be seen violating COVID guidelines and even the Election Commission's five-person limit on door-to-door campaigning given the third wave.
