The Samajwadi Party and the BJP both effectively launched their campaigns for the crucial 2022 UP Assembly Elections today. Akhilesh Yadav's party men rode cycles - the party symbol - in Lucknow while Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was in Ayodhya to mark one year anniversary of the foundation stone laying ceremony of the Ram Temple. Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed an audience in the state today and spoke about the Ram Temple which will likely be a cornerstone of the BJP's 2022 election campaign.
