New Delhi. Although politics and religion are completely different, politicians often do not desist from using the name of religion to shine their politics. But sometimes connecting politics with religion becomes too heavy and controversy arises over it. One such case has come to light from Varanasi, where in a banner of Samajwadi Party, Akhilesh Yadav has been shown in the role of Lord Shri Krishna and Rahul Gandhi in the role of Arjun. Controversy may arise over this banner which hurts people’s religious sentiments.

By the way, let us tell you that this is not the first time when such a banner or poster has been put up. Earlier, during the 2017 assembly elections, such posters were put up in Varanasi, the only difference was that in that poster, Akhilesh Yadav was shown as Arjun and Rahul Gandhi was shown as Lord Krishna.
