While the Baghpat district administration showered flower petals on Kanwariyas, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has defended the Shiv devotees. He claimed they have been branded as hooligans and terrorists and are victims of a "media trial". Adityanath stated this is a "nefarious attempt to defame the Kaveriyas" and insults Indian tradition. He said, "Unhe upadhavi aur atankwadi tak bolne ka dusahas hota hai" (They are dared to be called hooligans and even terrorists). The Chief Minister added that this represents a mentality that aims to insult India's heritage and is an attempt to isolate the community from Sanatan and Hindu identity.
