Reportedly the maharashtra elections have become a battle between two unlikely adversaries from outside the state yogi adityanath of the bjp and mallikarjun Kharge of the congress who are leading the charge from either camp, exchanging barbs and outshining other party campaigners. It all started with the congress president attacking the Uttar Pradesh chief minister earlier this week, pointing to the latter being bald and making fun of his saffron attire, advising him to wear white. Kharge has been leading the charge in maharashtra, outshining rahul gandhi and other maha Vikas Aghadi campaigners like uddhav Thackeray. In a sarcastic tone, Kharge has taken barbs at the two slogans of the bjp ‘Batoge toh Katoge’ and ‘Ek Hain to Safe Hain’ terming them as divisive.

Meanwhile Kharge even said words like ‘batenge, katenge’ were the language of terrorists and did not behove that of a chief minister on a constitutional post. The Dalit data-face of the congress in Kharge taking on the prominent Thakur data-face of the bjp in yogi adityanath is also a battle with big political importance.


Moreover yogi has not been the one to pull back punches. He has become the most-sought after campaigner for bjp candidates in maharashtra, after prime minister Narendra Modi, and has been to the state thrice for 10 rallies so far. UP chief minister, meanwhile, has been reiterating his rather popular slogan ‘Batenge Toh Katenge’ at all his rallies in maharashtra and Jharkhand. yogi will now devote time for the campaign in the nine assembly bypoll seats in Uttar Pradesh which are also politically critical and go to polls on november 20.
