On July 16, videos surfaced on Twitter where Bobby could be seen pushing a garbage cart with photos of BJP senior leaders.

The video, which soon became viral, showed some people questioning Bobby about the pictures, to which he replied he saw the portraits on the streets and was just doing his job.

Soon after, Bobby who was posted in the Generalganj area was terminated.

On July 18, a desperate Bobby appealed for help and asked the authorities of the Mathura Nagar Nigam to give him back his job.

“I am an illiterate who has been working for 30 years. I have three daughters and I need to look after them. I am the only breadwinner of my family. Where will we go now?” he said.

“I am a sanitation worker and I was just doing my job. I request Prime Minister Modi or chief minister, Yogi, to give back my job,” he said.
