An X user says “In Wanowrie, Salunkhe Vihar area, wall paintings are still intact.”

Another X user tweets “Well, the PMC removed the wall painting of Lotus (BJP symbol) on the government building wall. However, when will action be taken according to the act of defacement of government property? Because no one else seems to have painted such graffiti, only BJP has littered the entire city like this.”
