Ahead of the Uttar Pradesh by-elections, politics has heated up over Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s ‘Batenge to Katenge’ statement. In Gorakhpur, BJP workers tried to give a message by putting up hoardings with the slogan “Pehle Batenge to Katenge”, to which the Samajwadi Party responded by putting up hoardings saying “Jongenge to Badhenge”. This war poster is attracting people’s attention at University Square, Gorakhnath Road and other important places in Gorakhpur.
On behalf of the BJP, this poster has been put up by Yuva Morcha leader and Digvijaynath PG College students’ union president Abhay Singh. At the same time, on behalf of the SP, national vice-president Mrityunjay Yadav Bittu and former state secretary Ashutosh Gupta have retaliated by putting up the slogan ‘Jonge to badhenge’ right next to the BJP poster.
Poster war started in Gorakhpur
On this issue, SP leader Mrityunjay Yadav said that the Chief Minister talks about dividing and cutting the entire state, while the SP’s message is to unite the people and grow together. At the same time, BJP worker Abhishek Pandey says that this statement by the Chief Minister is an attempt to unite Hindus and the development work done in Gorakhpur is proof of this.
After Yogi, hoardings were put up about Akhilesh’s statement.
People argue fiercely about this cartel war. Gorakhpur advocate Bablu Tiwari believes that the purpose of both the posters is to give a message of unity. According to advocate Sumit Agrahari, when the ruling party gives a message, it is important for democracy that the opposition responds. This poster shows that both parties are presenting their views on unity.
