Posters referencing the Bollywood film 'Dhurandhar' have appeared across Lucknow and Amethi, targeting Akhilesh Yadav, the chief of the Samajwadi Party. The provocative slogan, 'Aap ko kya chahiye? Akhilesh ka Lyari raj,' draws a comparison to Lyari, a locality in Karachi, Pakistan, known for past gang violence, suggesting a law-and-order narrative linked to Yadav's tenure as chief minister. The campaign, initiated by a group called 'Youth Against Mafia,' highlights alleged incidents of riots and violence during Yadav's administration, contrasting them with the current government's crackdown on crime under Yogi Adityanath, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh. The timing of these posters, just months before the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, adds to their political significance. The Samajwadi Party has objected to the posters, calling them politically motivated and indicative of the ruling government's fear of losing power. Local authorities, including the Amethi police, are investigating the situation following reports about the posters.
