Are these people fools or what? Silly scaremongers! Some Mayan calendar conspiracy stuff which originated in the US has been gleefully lapped up by these people!
And what’s with the ‘Mother Sonia Gandhi’ crap? Absolutely nuts!

Aaaaah, oooooh, the supreme self-sacrificing nun, our very own Rajmata, resplendent in all her glory in true Bharatiya attire!
Simple, where are you? Doesn’t it warm the cockles of your heart to see resplendent Rajmata lording in towering glory over Mysoreans!

Oh well, atleast their intentions are good. :)
“Awareness about nuclear” I understand, but why “Yaga”? Oh well, atleast their intentions are good. :)

Are we really in 21st century?! What these gentlemen and ladies shown in the banner will teach their children? But one thing. There must be thousands of people who will happily participate in this yaaga!

I just threw up. “Mother Soniagandhi-ji”.
These guys must be congress backed goons or absolute morons or a combination of the two.

We still have so many foolish people around. Idiots. Now it is the turn of BJP to come up with something like this. Please ban hoardings and banners!!

This is what the freedom of expression in our country India :) On a different note, what it shows is we have progressed as a nation but still exhibit the mythical ethos !! God Save us from all these crap!!
