Mahua Moitra takes jibe at Yogi Adityanath for false ad

A full-page newspaper advertisement focuses on the developmental works done by Yogi Adityanath’s government over the last five years in the state, has landed the Uttar Pradesh government in a controversy. A chunk of the collage below the advertisement appears be a photo of Kolkata, a flyover having the trademark blue-white paint and yellow taxis on it.

TMC MP Mahua Moitra took a jibe at UP CM Yogi Adityanath after a photograph of UP Government's ad, featuring an image of a Kolkata flyover with yellow taxis, went viral.

Moitra took to Twitter and wrote, "Thuggy Yogi in his UP ads with Kolkata’s MAA flyover, our JW Marriott & our iconic yellow taxis! Change your soul or at least your ad agency Gudduji! P.S. Looking forward to FIRs against me in Noida now :-)".

Senior leader Mukul Roy, who returned to the Trinamool from the BJP after the ruling party's spectacular victory, even targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

However, the newspaper has clarified saying, "A wrong image was inadvertently included in the cover collage of the advertorial on Uttar Pradesh produced by the marketing department of the newspaper. The error is deeply regretted and the image has been removed in all digital editions of the paper."
