What's the BJP's agenda in Uttar Pradesh?



India's ruling party is cracking down on butchers and abattoirs in the country's most populous state.


Police in India's Uttar Pradesh have been closing dozens of slaughterhouses, leading to a meat shortage in the state that is home to 200 million people.
Politicians say the crackdown is about licenses, but government critics say it is about religion.
Muslims say they are being targeted.
Is it just about meat or an ominous indicator of rising Hindu nationalism?
