At a Gopastami Mahotsav event, BJP MLA Balmukund Acharya delivered a speech targeting Muslims, invoking conspiracy theories such as “love jihad” and “land jihad.” He claimed that Muslims have been acquiring Goshala land through the Muslim Law Board and Waqf Board and converting many of these sites into slaughterhouses. He also fearmongers about the growing Muslim population, falsely framing it as part of a larger conspiracy.
