A contentious poster allegedly erected by the Congress party ahead of the Lok Sabha elections has ignited a furor in Delhi. The poster, prominently displayed in the upscale Lutyen’s area of the capital, features former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh alongside separatist leader Yasin Malik, accompanied by an appeal to vote for the Congress party. This development comes as Delhi prepares for voting in all seven Lok Sabha constituencies scheduled for May 25, during the sixth phase of the electoral process.
The emergence of the poster, adorned with images of Dr. Manmohan Singh and Yasin Malik, has triggered a wave of controversy and condemnation. The juxtaposition of the former Prime Minister with a separatist figure has raised eyebrows and drawn widespread criticism from various quarters.
The contentious poster has prompted swift reactions from political circles, with opponents of the Congress party seizing upon the opportunity to denounce the alleged association between a senior Congress leader and a controversial separatist figure. The timing of the poster’s appearance, just ahead of the crucial Lok Sabha elections in Delhi, amplifies its significance and potential impact on electoral dynamics.
With voting for all seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi slated for May 25, the political atmosphere in the capital is charged with anticipation and scrutiny. The emergence of the controversial poster injects a new dimension into the electoral discourse, prompting deliberations on its implications for voter sentiments and party affiliations.
As the controversy swirls around the poster, the Congress party is yet to issue an official statement addressing the matter. However, the party’s response to the allegations and the perceived messaging conveyed by the poster is awaited amid mounting pressure from political rivals and public scrutiny.
