As polls near, BJP workers turn Advani into Lord Rama

Lucknow: After Congress President Sonia Gandhi was depicted as Goddess Durga by some Congress workers recently, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers have put up hoardings in Kanpur depicting LK Advani as Lord Rama who is out to destroy the evil - seen as the Congress.

The BJP is returning to its Hindutva line again. They believe that the moderate Vajpayee line has not worked. So it is back to the Advani line.

Advani is scheduled to address a Vijaya Sankalp (victory oath) Rally on Friday in Kanpur.

So it seems Advani, BJP's prime ministerial candidate, is spearheading the campaign for the Lok Sabha elections, armed with Lord Rama's bow and arrow.

It is hoping that the Hindutva line will get it many seats in UP. Basically BJP too has no more ideas than the Congress on how to run the country. It is equally confused as to what to do with the inflation. It is confused on the Nuclear deal too.

"Posters have been put up depicting price rise as a demon with Sonia Gandhi one side and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the others side with Advani out to slay the demon with an arrow. It just reflects the feeling of the workers and nothing more," says Satish Mahana, BJP MLA from Kanpur.

Do they think the common people are so dumb that they will swallow such NAUTANKI?

The posters of Advani have left the Congress fuming though not too long ago Congress supporters depicted their party President as Goddess Durga. Angry Congress workers also burnt an effigy of Advani in Kanpur.
