Amidst this, posters featuring a cartoon image of Lord Ram with Prime Minister Narendra Modi have stirred controversy in Ward No. 16 of the Siliguri Municipal Corporation (SMC).
According to reports, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has put up a poster depicting Lord Ram and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in cartoon form as a challenge for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. On Saturday morning, the posters triggered political debates all across the city.
