Multiple internal Facebook reports over the last two years red-flagged an increase in “anti-minority” and “anti-Muslim” rhetoric as “a substantial component” of the 2019 Lok Sabha election campaign. Inflammatory content in English, Bengali, and Hindi also spiked numerous times and especially in December 2019 and March 2020, coinciding with the protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act and start of lockdowns enforced to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

In what appears to be an attempt to appropriate the legacy of late Congress stalwart ND Tiwari, Uttarakhand’s BJP government shortlisted the former chief minister for its prestigious annual state award.
