Jaipur traders face threats after using Yogi Adityanath’s slogan in Diwali campaign

JAIPUR: Two traders from Jaipur are in a serious predicament after using a slogan popularised by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. However, the campaign has backfired, and the traders have reportedly received threatening phone calls from international numbers, causing concern among Jaipur’s business community. Ahead of Diwali, the traders displayed posters across the city featuring the slogan: “Batenge To Katenge… Do your Diwali shopping from those who can make Diwali possible with your shopping.” The posters, which included the traders' names and contact details, invited locals to support their businesses during the festive season. However, shortly after the posters went up, the traders began receiving threatening calls from international numbers, reportedly from Pakistan, Kuwait, and the Maldives.
