Rahul Gandhi is in Amethi and Congress leaders are leaving no stone unturned to impress their boss. This is Gandhi’s first visit to his parliamentary constituency of Amethi after taking over as the party president.

Rama Shankar Shukla, a Congress leader, has allegedly portrayed Gandhi as Ram and Prime Minister Narendra Modi as Ravana in one of the posters installed to welcome Congress chief in the district.

The poster was seen at the Gauriganj railway station on December 14, a day before Rahul’s visit to the city. In the poster, Rahul was seen carrying a bow and an arrow, pointing towards Modi.

Some of the local BJP leaders raised objections to the poster as soon as it appeared. Later, BJP leader Surya Prakash Tiwari lodged an FIR against Shukla.

In its inscription, the poster states Rahul as an incarnation of Lord Ram who will bring ‘Ram Rajya’ in 2019 by winning the General election, and defeating ‘Ravan’ Prime Minister Modi.

“Rahul ke roop mein bhagwan Ram ka Avtaar 2019 mein aayega Rahulraj (Ramrajya)” read the wording on the poster.
