UP: Rahul eulogised as Lord Rama, PM Modi as Ravan in posters in Amethi

Lucknow: Amethi in Uttar Pradesh had welcomed Rahul Gandhi with oodles of praise. Much before his maiden visit to his parliamentary constituency as the Congress chief, posters eulogising Rahul as an incarnation of Lord Rama slaying Prime Minister Narendra Modi, portrayed as the ten-headed demon king Ravan, appeared at various places in Uttar Pradesh's Amethi district.

The posters read that Rahul will usher in Ram Rajya in the country and will end the "misrule of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)". Behind the posters is a local Congressman, Abhay Shukla.

In another poster, the Congress president was eulogised as Lord Krishna running the chariot with Arjuna during a battle in Mahabharata.
