Pune: Hours before Joe Biden is sworn in as the 46th President and and his deputy Kamala Harris of Indian origin as the 49th Vice-President of the United States tonight, a congratulatory banner for the two has come up at the foot over bridge (FOB) near Bharati Vidyapeeth college in Dhankawadi. This banner image has gone viral on the social media and has become the talk of the town.
The message written in typical Marathi style mentions Joe Biden as bhau and Kamala Harris as akka. The message also has a remark ‘ghasun nahi, thasun aloy‘ meaning ‘we have won by crushing the opponents and not by a thin margin. The banner has been put up by one Popatrao Jaywantrao Khopade claiming to be from Shivpremi Divyang organisation.
Incidentally, the banner covers the directions board put up by the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) which is causing inconvenience to motorists looking for such information.
