UP By-Polls 2024: Poster War Intensifies Ahead Of Elections, Congress Hangs Poster In Gorakhpur

Political tensions in Uttar Pradesh are escalating as Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's statement "Batenge to Katenge" stirs controversy. In Gorakhpur, BJP workers put up posters displaying this slogan, attempting to send a message. In retaliation, Samajwadi Party (SP) leaders placed posters next to them, featuring the slogan "Judenge to Badhenge" ,challenging the BJP's narrative. These posters were displayed across key locations in Gorakhpur, including the University Square, Gorakhnath Road, Ramgarh Tal, and Mohaddipur. The BJP’s move sparked heated discussions, leading to the SP’s counter-action with its own message of unity. SP leaders, including Mrityunjay Yadav and Ashutosh Gupta, emphasized that while the BJP talks of division, SP focuses on uniting people for progress. They argue that the youth under Akhilesh Yadav’s leadership are determined to "unite and win," contrasting the BJP’s approach. As this poster war unfolds, citizens and political observers are intrigued by the rivalry, reflecting the growing intensity of the upcoming by-elections. Some view this as a reminder of the need for strong opposition, while others believe the BJP's development track record, especially in Gorakhpur, outshines the SP's attempts at consolidation.
