Who runs the political conversation in Lucknow?

Speakers, stances and verbatim quotes in statements referencing Lucknow.

Summary

Politics is leader-heavy and more communally framed than the Indian-city norm. Religious or communal framing marks 13.8% of tracked conversation, versus 11% for a typical Indian city; Yogi Adityanath is the loudest named voice at 828, amid debate ranging from an examination-paper protest to Naval Shaurya Vatika.

WATCH Watch whether law-and-order rivalry overtakes communal framing in the political conversation.
