Following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's inauguration of the Rashtra Prerna Sthal in Lucknow, videos circulated widely showing individuals stealing decorative flower pots placed along the roads. Reports indicate hundreds, possibly over 4,000, pots were taken by people on two-wheelers and on foot shortly after the event concluded. Cutouts of PM Modi and CM Yogi Adityanath were also reportedly taken. The incident has sparked online criticism regarding civic sense and public property misuse, with some recalling similar past events.
