These days, the entry of fierce poster war and memes in the politics of Uttar Pradesh has reached the point of police action. First of all, Akhilesh's Lyari Raj posters were published, in which the SP chief was shown like Rehman dacoit. In this poster, CM Yogi was also described as a strong CM. News clippings of criminal incidents and riots that took place during Akhilesh Raj were highlighted in this poster.
These posters put up by Youth Against Mafia were not limited to Lucknow only. When similar posters were put up in Gonda, Jaunpur, Kanpur and Varanasi, SP workers got enraged and started counterattacking. SP workers got angry over the poster put up in Lucknow and the workers tore the poster and removed it. After this, posters were also put up by SP.
In these posters, the CM was described as Dhuandhar instead of Dhurandhar. The smoke-filled poster also highlighted news clippings of criminal incidents that had occurred since 2017. Akhilesh Yadav's statement on the poster further heated up the atmosphere. He said, the people who were putting up poster banners did not even know that Dhuandhar was Dhuandhar, but after putting up the poster banners, the entire state and the country knew who Dhuandhar was.
He said that people are talking about other things too, they are talking about vegetation but this government is worried that it has not been able to do anything in nine years and has left our Uttar Pradesh behind.
SP leader IP Singh shared a video meme. In this AI video meme, CM Yogi was shown dancing on the fast-paced theme music. Some news headings were also added to this meme along with the heading of reservation dacoit Dhua-dhar. After this video was posted, the sentiments of a person named Dharam Singh were hurt and he went to Hazratganj police station in Lucknow to lodge a complaint. Late night, an FIR was also registered against SP leader IP Singh. Also, all the posters were removed from the city overnight.
This controversy has started since the release of Dhurandhar-2. While the opposition is calling it a propaganda movie, the BJP seems to be supporting and promoting it. UP Deputy CM Brajesh Pathak's statement also came out on this entire controversy. Targeting the Samajwadi Party, Pathak alleged that the goon mafia kept getting nurtured under the Samajwadi Party government.
Brajesh Pathak said, if a filmmaker and litterateur displays our culture and cultural heritage through his words and through films, then it should be appreciated. Those who are getting irritated and are feeling pain, his tenure itself has been full of hooliganism and anarchy. Azamgarh has also not remained untouched by this. Samajwadi Party has always been promoting the goon mafia. Our government provides the best law and order to the common people of Uttar Pradesh.
