Revealed: SP, RLD, BJP, AAP, BSP 'Holi celebrations' in UP

Lucknow, March 18: On Monday, the festival of colours was celebrated all over the country by people from all walks of life including politicians.

In-fact, many politicians got themselves drenched in the different hues of Holi colours and used the occasion to reach out to voters, ahead of forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Mayawati remained 'colourless' on Holi

But the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati was an exception as she didn't become the part of the Holi festivities.

According to a TOI report, Mayawati does not celebrate Holi since she follows Buddhism. She is keeping the legacy alive as the party's founder Kanshi Ram also stayed away from all festivities.

So, the BSP members keep their celebrations to the 'individual level'.

BJP's Lalji Tandon smeared 'Lal' colour!

Veteran BJP leader and sitting MP from Lucknow, Lalji Tandon, who was left sulking as Rajnath Singh bagged the Lucknow seat, forgot the bitterness on Holi and enjoyed the festival.
