A poster war between the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has resulted from the backlash against Rahul Gandhi`s `panauti` remark, which was aimed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The BJP responded to the Congress`s portrayal of the PM as "Panauti-e-Azam" on social media by emphasising the Gandhi family as the "true panauti" of the nation. This poster battle took place on these platforms, stated a PTI report. 

Rahul Gandhi`s comment about PM Modi caused the term "panauti," a Hindi slang term that roughly translates to "someone who brings bad luck," to become controversial, the report added.
