Claim
The BJP has called these depictions an insult to Hindu faith and asks whether such a thing could be done with any other religion.
“अब भारतीय जनता पार्टी ने इसे हिंदू आस्था का अपमान करार दिया है। बीजेपी कह रही है कि विपक्ष के नेता हिंदू देवी देवताओं के साथ जो कर रहे हैं, क्या ऐसा किसी और धर्म के साथ किया जा सकता है।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Central assertion — that the BJP branded these depictions an insult to Hindu faith — is confirmed for both the Rahul-Parshuram and Akhilesh-Krishna posters; BJP spokespersons called it blasphemous/appeasement and demanded apologies. The 'would this be done with any other religion' phrasing is a standard BJP rhetorical framing consistent with these statements, and the core assertion is well supported.
