Yogi Adityanath as `Lord Hanuman` - New posters show BJP MP posing with Ram Temple in hand

The posters showed the firebrand Gorakhpur MP posing as `Lord Hanuman` and carrying the proposed Ram Temple in one of his hands.

Gorakhpur: The minorities wing of the BJP released some posters showing its firebrand Gorakhpur MP Yogi Adityanath as Lord Hanuman.

According to ANI, the posters showed the firebrand Gorakhpur MP carrying the proposed Ram Temple in one of his hands.

The posters were released on the occasion of Eid and have 'Mission 2017' written on it.

An appeal has been made to the Muslim community to contribute in the construction of a grand Ram Temple at Ayodhya.

The posters are likely to further escalate BJP's ongoing war with regional parties like Samajwadi Party, BSP and Congress.

Importantly, Yogi Adtiyanath was not inducted as minister in the recent Union Cabinet expansion by PM Narendra Modi, in a clear message to outspoken party leaders to exercise restraint.
