Who runs the political conversation in Kanpur?

Speakers, stances and verbatim quotes in statements referencing Kanpur.

Summary

Kanpur's political conversation is unusually communal in framing. Religious or communal language appears in 15.3% of tracked political speech, above the typical Indian-city context of 11%; Yogi Adityanath is the loudest named voice. Recent rhetoric spans a leather-business crisis, paramilitary control and judicial criticism of officials.

WATCH Watch whether jobs and industrial stress displace communal framing in the city's political debate.
