According to the letter, the accusing party highlighted the warning given by the Uttar Pradesh CM, of how a "bulldozer will move against unsocial elements and mafia after 10 March", when the UP poll results will be declared.

SP also alleged that CM Yogi frequently addressed the party as “goons”, "ruffians" and “mafia” during campaigns, and that his language does not fall under the category of moderate, dignified, and polite speech.
