The hoardings put up by the Uttar Pradesh Navnirman Sena were placed under the 'Yogi for PM' campaign, triggering a flutter in political circles.

As the hoardings dotted the city landscape, Agra Mayor Naveen Jain ordered their immediate removal. The civic authorities have also ordered action against the advertising agency that put up the billboards.
