Kejriwal is depicted as Meghnad, the son of Ravana in the poster, which was purportedly put up by BJP's ally Shiv Sena.

"One more surgical operation needed to finish Ravan-like Pakistan," reads the text on the poster.

This is not the first time politics has taken a religious turn in the poster war in UP.?

Last year the BJP had come under fire after a poster showed party state president and MP, Keshav Prasad Mourya, as Krishna, and opposition party leaders, including Akhilesh Yadav, Rahul Gandhi and Mayawati, as Kauravas, attempting to disrobe Draupadi (UP State).

Another controversial poster came from the BSP camp, where BSP supremo Mayawati was depicted as Goddess Kali.
