In Elections, Candidate Campaigns on Buffalo

Basti (Uttar Pradesh): Stirred by poverty in villages and rising fuel prices, a candidate has decided shun the use of costly vehicles and is seeking votes by riding a buffalo in the Basti Sadar assembly constituency of Uttar Pradesh, which goes to polls next month.

Elections in Uttar Pradesh will be held in seven phases from February 8 to March 3.

Prajatantrik Congress Party candidate Ghamalu Chaudhary said: “I am campaigning while sitting on a buffalo. The prices of petrol and diesel are at its peak. The big politicians from the big parties are campaigning while sitting in luxury cars, but I am working alongside the poor people and I have seen their poverty, and thus, I am campaigning by sitting on a buffalo.” Read More................Candidate shuns luxury, campaigns on buffalo in poll bound Uttar Pradesh
