However, the Pune railway station still has some posters of PM Modi, although the officials had removed some on Monday afternoon. A railway official said that almost all the banners had been removed, and all portraits of PM Modi had been painted white. The PM’s photos in the stalls of the “One Station, One Product” initiative have also been hidden, and selfie points with PM’s posters have also been removed.

However, Senior Divisional Commercial Manager Milind Hirve said that they are still in the process of removing and hiding all political faces in the station premises. “By evening, we will remove the remaining posters,” he said.
