Even as the nation continues to fights the massive COVID-19 battle, the poster war between BJP and opposition continues. On Monday new posters related to Amethi MP Smriti Irani popped up. The posters were tweeted by the official Twitter handles of All India Mahila Congress, UP Congress and some spokespersons of the party.
"After becoming MP from Amethi, Smriti Irani registered her presence in just a few hours. Today, when Amethi's citizens are frightened and distressed by the pain caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are not saying you are missing ...., we have seen you playing Antakshari through Twitter, we have seen you giving lunch to a few people," read the poster in Hindi.
Smriti Irani hits back
Hitting back at Congress, now Smriti Irani exuded confidence in having the account of 8 months,10 times and 14 days and further questioned Sonia Gandhi on her visit to Amethi. In a series of Tweets, Irani mentioned the developments in Amethi and further urged Congress to stop messing with the lives of people.
Smriti Irani, who won from the Amethi constituency, was once a stronghold of Congress. The last line in the poster is a reference to Irani’s visit to Amethi just days after wrestling the constituency from the then Congress president Rahul Gandhi in one of the most surprising Lok Sabha poll victories.
Posters Declaring Jyotiraditya Scindia 'missing' Surface In Gwalior
On May 24, posters declaring Jyotiraditya Scindia - a former Congress leader who is now in the BJP - missing surfaced in Madhya Pradesh's Gwalior.
Mocking at Scindia's reason to quit the Congress party, the poster said that he was unable to do 'Janseva' but even now, he is missing and has not raised his voice for the stranded migrants. Furthermore, the poster declared that whosoever would find him will get reward money of Rs 5100. It has mentioned the phone number of Siddharth Singh Rajawat as the contact person if any information about Scindia is found.
However, after the posters were put in the Gwalior city, BJP supporters were irked, sources said, and have now threatened to respond 'in the same language.'
