AMETHI: (Just hours before Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Amethi on Wednesday, posters branding him as a “supporter of terror” appeared at several locations across the city, including near the Congress office and the local bus stand.

The provocative posters stirred political tensions, even as police had been deployed in strength to prevent such incidents.

Despite heightened security, the posters that read “Aatank ka saathi Rahul Gandhi” (Supporter of terror: Rahul Gandhi) were spotted in the city early this morning.
