Saffron colour is being discussed a lot in Lok Sabha elections, especially in the second phase. During the second phase campaign, most of the time leaders used the words Hindus, Muslims, Hanuman, saffron and so on because these are the favourite issues of big parties, and raising this gives them benefits in the election campaign. Most of the time, big leaders are campaigning wearing saffron turbans.

Earlier, a communal incident took place in Karnataka after shopkeepers were beaten by some of the Muslim youth because he was playing Hanuman Chalisa in his shop. This incident was also addressed by PM Modi during his rallies, he blamed the opposition for this incident. Saffron colour is considered a symbol of sacrifice and knowledge, but in the election environment, this colour is also an issue. This colour has also been politicized.
