BJP releases \'fake Gandhis\' poster to counter Congress\' \'PayCM\' campaign
Deccan ChronicleBENGALURU: In what appears to be a retaliation to the Congress’ “PayCM” poster campaign launched in Bengaluru recently, the state unit of Bharatiya Janata Party has hit back at Congress leaders by releasing a poster stating “fakegandhis” targeting the family members of late prime minister Indira Gandhi. In a poster posted on Twitter on Sunday, BJP leaders questioned Congress leaders, “Why didn’t Congress remember Gandhi’s call for the stoppage of cow slaughter in the country?” The upper portion of the poster bears a picture of Mahatma Gandhi while the lower portion has entire family pictures of late Prime Ministers-Indira Gandhi and Rajv Gandhi, interim AICC president Sonia Gandhi, her son Rahul Gandhi and her daughter Priyanaka Gandhi Vadra. The poster in the below portion stated “Encouraged cow slaughter are fake Gandhis.” Terming the Congress as “bail party”, after paying tributes to Mahatma Gandhi on his 153rd birth anniversary in Bengaluru, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai reacted to a charge made by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi that the state is under a corrupt government, “There is no need to speak on fake Gandhis. Both, former president of All India Congress Committee Rahul Gandhi and mother Sonia Gandhi are on bail.
