A video surfaced on Thursday evening showing a young individual spray-painting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s face black on a mounted poster. The poster features images of Modi and Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, related to the Gita Jayanti Mahotsav. It is displayed on a foot overbridge along National Highway-44 near Barsat Road in the district.
This video has reportedly been shared on the social media account of the Indian Youth Congress. In response, Dushyant Bhatt, the district president of the BJP, criticized the act, attributing it to the Congress party’s frustration over electoral setbacks. Bhatt indicated that the BJP would consider legal action regarding the incident.
- Why it matters: This incident reflects ongoing political tensions in India and how political parties may react to perceived slights. It also raises questions about the boundaries of protest and freedom of expression.
- The latest: Legal actions are being contemplated by the BJP in response to the vandalism on the poster.
