‘Slippers But No Flip-Flops’: Telangana Candidate Asks Constituents To Throw Slippers At Him If He Doesn’t Work
The Independent candidate giving a slipper to a voter (Twitter Video Screengrab)
The assembly election in Telangana has been dosed with further excitement thanks to independent candidate Akula Hanumanlu, who is giving startling election handouts - slippers and his resignation letter, New Indian Express has reported.
The unique campaigning has gone viral on social media. It is to be seen if it will be translated into votes.
A confident Akula is of the opinion that his strategy should be made compulsory. He states that after observing politics from 10 years, he believes that people in power not only abuse it by not working for the people but don't even listen to their grievance.
His party symbol is a whistle, and his manifesto includes using his honorarium for development works, construction of English Medium schools among other.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
