Controversial posters showing Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath with the phrase 'batenge to katenge,' implying division's disastrous impact, have emerged across Mumbai just before the Maharashtra assembly polls.

Mumbai BJP chief Ashish Shelar clarified that the party was not responsible for the posters, though he acknowledged widespread sentiment that dividing votes could harm societal development. The posters claim unity leads to security and prosperity.

These messages are linked to Vishwabandhu Rai, a non-affiliated figure with BJP, signaling concerns about electoral strategies affecting societal growth. The timing coincides with the upcoming Maharashtra polls and follows Adityanath's previous calls for unity highlighting regional issues.
