An independent candidate’s weird campaigning style has caught attention in poll-bound Telangana. Akula Hanumanth is gifting a chappal to every voter who he is approaching with a request to vote for him: “Beat me with this chappal if I do not do what is expected of me after I become an MLA,” he is telling everyone during his campaigning.
Among the group of people that goes around with him on his campaign rounds is a young man who holds a box with chappals. Elections will be held on December 7.
Hanumanth gives a pamphlet to voters asking them to vote for him.
