Over-zealous SP Yuvjan Sabha leader Arun Gupta had also courted controversy during Holi, by coming out a poster poking fun at leaders of opposition parties on the pretext of "Burra na mano Holi hai."
This time, he has come out with a poster that pokes fun at Modi with the catch statement — Thar Thar Modi, Daar Daar Modi — that seems to be a reply to the more popular latest Modi chant coined by the BJP workers.
On Sunday, Gupta told TOI, "BJP is busy poaching on other parties due to lack of credible candidates in its own wing to contest the polls."
He then went on to add, "Samajwadi Party has no dearth of such leaders as we are going into polls in the name of development, while BJP is doing politics in the name of religion."
The poster also states, "Sita Maiyaa Ro Rahi Hai, BJP Ke Naam Pe, Sara Paisa Kha Gaye, Mere Pati Ke Naam Pe (Goddess Sita is weeping as the BJP has swindled funds collected in the name of her husband)."
During Holi, Gupta had installed a huge poster depicting Arvind Kejriwal as riding a tricycle pulled by a dog. Rahul Gandhi and Narendra Modi were depicted with chained legs, while BSP's symbol elephant too was depicted as 'confused.' The poster ended with oft-repeated comment "Burra Na Mano Holi Hai" as its tagline.
BJP spokesperson DM Mishra dismissed Gupta's latest poster and said, "all parties are afraid of BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi as his popularity is rising with every passing day. People will give a befitting reply to the SP in the coming election."
The poster has not only caused heartburns among political parties but also the people. The district administration has said that posters aggravating differences amounted to flouting of model code of conduct. "Adequate action would be taken in this regard," said an official.
A senior Congress leader said, "Political party workers and leaders should refrain from making fun of political parties and their leaders."
