Salt Lake poster war: Sleeping Rahul Gandhi images spark fierce Cong-BJP row in Bengal

Kolkata, Nov 3 (UNI) Overnight posters depicting Congress leader Rahul Gandhi asleep in Parliament have sparked a fierce political row across Salt Lake, Kolkata, intensifying the ongoing conflict between the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in West Bengal.
The appearance of these posters closely followed a major BJP rally in the city led by the party's national president, Nitin Nabin.
Locals reported that the posters, which feature a picture of Gandhi taking a nap, alongside the caption "Should the leader of the country be like this?", were put up under the cover of darkness between the Karunamoyee Bus Terminus and Karunamoyee Crossing. The mystery surrounding the source of the posters has triggered widespread speculation, especially since no such posters were visible during the BJP’s "Save Democracy" march earlier that day.
