Congress slogan makers have outdone themselves in creativity and stuffed Patna with posters with catchy one-liner slogans ahead of Rahul Gandhi’s February 3 ‘Jan Akanksha Rally’.
One of the posters read, Ummido par chala hathoda, yuva tal raha pakoda [Aspirations have been crushed, as youth forced to fry pakoda]’.
Another says, Chokidar ho gaya manmauji, seema par shahid ho rahe hai fauji [The chokidar has become autocratic, as jawans are getting martyred at borders],’ while referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Even the famous detective James Bond, who has no connection to the country’s politics has found a place in the slogans.
M asks James Bond, How do you like your new car?’. He replies, Ab nahi chahiye, saheb ki sarkar’ [No more Modi government]’.
The Jan Akanksha rally would be the Congress party’s first major rally in Patna in the past 28 years. And hence, the party is taking steps to ensure its message is delivered safe and sound to the voters.
Such slogans on the Congress party’s flagship pre-election campaign drive in Bihar, where it’s been rhymed with everything from Twinkle, twinkle, little star: Sarkar Badalo Abki Baar’ to Phir Bajega Congress ka Danka: Tasweer Badlegi Bahan Priyanka’, appear to have generated much interest and ready to go viral in the Indian social media.
