Viral: Sarees With Images Of PM Modi And UP CM Yogi

Plans to distribute 1,000 sarees to women to woo voters

New Delhi: Ahead of the upcoming election polls, Sarees with images of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath made in Surat, a textile hub in Gujarat, with just weeks left for the elections in India's most populated state.

As of now, viral photos and videos of Sarees with images of Prime Minister Modi and UP Chief Minister Yogi are being trended on the social media platform.

It seems that the trending Sarees will be distributed among women in Uttar Pradesh. The sarees are replete with Bharatiya Janta Party's election symbol, the lotus, and carry a slogan that says, “We will bring those who brought Lord Rama.”

It is just weeks left out for the upcoming Assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh. The state will have voting in seven phases. It will start on February 10. The results for the polls tend to be declared on March 10, 2022.

The viral video was shared by an Ahmedabad-based journalist, who said it was part of a campaign to woo women, voters. “Sarees made on Ayodhya theme,” he said, adding that there are plans to distribute 1,000 sarees to women in eastern and western UP.

However, this is not the first-time sarees with pictures of Prime Minister Modi are being been made. Ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, similarly designed pieces were made in Gujarat. The sarees, priced around Rs 1,500 each, were a hit among women, particularly Bharatiya Janata Party workers, in Jharkhand.

Building a Ram temple in Ayodhya has been an issue close to BJP. It has featured in its poll manifesto several times. The construction of the Ram temple is reportedly progressing on schedule and it is likely to be opened to the public by December 2023.
