KANPUR: Posters depicting Congress leader Rahul Gandhi as Lord Krishna and Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Ajay Rai as Arjun have been pasted at several locations in an Uttar Pradesh district. The posters were strategically placed on the Mall Road, near the Cantonment, and the Ghantaghar area.
The posters have been put up by Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee (UPCC) member Sandeep Shukla.It is unclear why Shukla chose to portray Gandhi as Lord Krishna and Rai as Arjun. Efforts to reach Shukla for comment were unsuccessful.
The posters have emerged just as Gandhi is scheduled to arrive in the district with his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. The yatra, which started on January 14 from Manipur, aims to unite the country and promote justice for all.
Gandhi is expected to address a public meeting in Kanpur during his visit to the district. The yatra will reach Kanpur via Unnao on Wednesday.
