Varanasi: A poster of UP BJP president Keshav Prasad Maurya in Varanasi depicting him as 'Lord Krishna' and other politicians including Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav as 'Kauravas' stoked a controversy with SP accusing BJP of hurting the religious sentiments of the people and trying to tarnish the image of Mr Yadav.
The poster, which went viral on the social media, was released ahead of the visit of its State BJP president to the temple city on Thursday by some men.
However, BJP distanced itself from it and denied that it has any association with the controversial poster.
The poster carries the name of one Rupesh Pandey in the bottom right corner, who had allegedly issued this poster.
He claimed that the poster has hurt the religious sentiments of people of this holy city.
