‘Poster politics’ intensifies in UP ahead of elections; Akhilesh and Rahul depicted as heads of Ravana; SP claims, “BJP is worried about Akhilesh’s growing popularity.”

Posters that have heightened political tension ahead of the elections have appeared in Uttar Pradesh. In Lucknow, posters labeling certain individuals as an “anti-India Dashanana Ravana” have become a major topic of discussion. Displayed at various intersections across Lucknow, these posters feature the faces of several figures, including Akhilesh Yadav, Rahul Gandhi, former MP Atiq Ahmed, and American businessman Elon Musk. The posters are reportedly put up by an organization called ‘Sanatan Raksha Sangathan’. The Samajwadi Party (SP) has reacted with outrage to these posters, asserting that with the 2027 elections approaching, the BJP is anxious about the rising popularity and credibility of Akhilesh Yadav.
