In counter to AAP's 'jhukega nahi', BJP drops Pushpa-style poster featuring Delhi unit chief

BJP Monday shared poster of Delhi unit president Virendraa Sachdeva sitting on a chair in Pushpa-style. The poster had the tagline 'Bhrashtachariyon ko khatam karenge, rappa rappa'.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has launched a poster campaign featuring its Delhi unit chief, Virendra Sachdeva, styled after the popular character Pushpa from the Telugu film "Pushpa: The Rise." This move comes as a counter to the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) "Jhukega Nahi" (Will Not Bow Down) campaign, which has been using the same theme. The BJP's poster, captioned "Aapko kya laga, main jhukega? (What did you think, I will bow down?)," portrays Sachdeva in a similar fierce and defiant pose as Pushpa, aiming to project strength and resilience. This political poster war reflects the ongoing rivalry between BJP and AAP, especially in the context of the upcoming elections, where both parties are using cultural references to connect with the electorate.
