Lucknow: With elections in Uttar Pradesh just around the corner, slogans are the order of the day.
But gone are the days of Garibi hatao or Hamse jo takrayega choor choor ho jayega. This time around, it’s all spice and not everything nice.
While some slogans are a declaration of parties' policies, others are just a manifestation of indignation to play down the achievements of political opponents.
The ruling Samajwadi Party may have taken the lead with superstar Amitabh Bachchan saying UP mein hai dam kyonki jurm yahan hai kam (UP has the strength because crime is less here), but countering that is Congress’ slogan UP Mein Tha Dam, Kahan Pahuch Gaye Ham (UP had the strength but where have we reached).
The SP has gone a step further with a series of slogans mainly focused on party president and Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav.
In its latest stunt, an audio-visual enacted by party MPs Jaya Bachchan and
Jaya Prada has the new slogan Badli badli hawa chali, badla badla mausam, kayam rahe Uttar Pradesh, kayam rahe Mulayam (Atmosphere is fast changing but UP and Mulayam should remain unchanged).
