Tamil Nadu Elections: Candidate Promises Helicopters, Trip To Moon And A Snow Mountain To Keep Constituency Cool
Independent candidate Thulam Saravanan (ANI)
Taking the competition among political parties in distributing freebies to a new level, an Independent candidate in Tamil Nadu Thulam Saravanan has given many promises that attracted national attention.
Among his list of freebies promised is a mini-helicopter, gold jewellery for weddings, three-storey house, robot to reduce workload of homemakers, boat for every family, 300-ft high artificial snow mountain to keep his constituency cool, a rocket launch pad and a space research centre.
With his promises, the 33-year-old aims to raise awareness among people falling for freebies and to make the voters choose good candidates, reports Business Today.
With dustbin as poll symbol, Saravanan is contesting the polls as an independent candidate from Madurai South constituency.
“Though I have no money for the campaign and have sought help from friends and relatives, my WhatsApp message has gone viral and people are thinking about my tall promises and the thought behind it. That is my victory though I may not win," he said.
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.
