Yes, I agree with your observation in part and full :) And probably it may be a net positive considering that UP was ruled by two family-owned extremely corrupt political parties...

Now it is ruled by a firebrand hindu priest who was on stage while one of his associates exhorted the crowd to dig up corpses of Muslim women and rape them.

Is this his statement or view? Is the "associate" part of his government? Maybe a "firebrand Hindu priest" follows the Rajya Dharma! A proper citation would have helped...

BBC has a very biased view: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_the_BBC

Rest of the question, I couldn't find the answer in the earlier BBC link though.

I abhor these thoughts and don't justify the association though.

The BBC article links to this https://www.scoopwhoop.com/news/hate-speech-once-more/#.7545...

That's a list of accusations though, actual credible reports on BBC bias tend to show its not very biased.

Most people want it be biased in their favor.
