Purnia: Lok Sabha elections are going on across the country. Every leader is busy trying to woo the public. All the candidates are campaigning vigorously in their respective areas and appealing to the public to vote. To show their party strength among the public, they are going among them in 50-50 vehicles. Some candidates are even traveling by helicopter for campaigning. But apart from all this, a unique case has come to light from Gopalganj in Bihar. Here Netaji is campaigning not in big vehicles but sitting on a donkey.
Satyendra Baitha is an independent candidate from Gopalganj.
Voting for Gopalganj Lok Sabha seat of Bihar is to be held on May 25. The nomination process was going on here. Every leader was arriving with his party force and big vehicles for nomination in the elections. But the video of nomination of a candidate went viral on social media because this candidate did not come to file nomination in any car or vehicle, but he came to file nomination sitting on a donkey. His name is Satyendra Baitha. He is an independent candidate. A total of 11 candidates are in the fray from Gopalganj Lok Sabha constituency.
Donkey ride, tempo garland around the neck
Independent candidate Satyendra is sitting on a donkey with a garland of election symbols around his neck and seeking votes along with his supporters. When Satendra Baitha was talked to, he told that inflation is at its peak due to which we cannot get oil filled. That is why we are doing public relations sitting on a donkey. He further said that we and our donkey are the star campaigners, big star campaigners have failed in front of us and our donkey. He also said that our main issues are inflation, unemployment, education and health. I am going among the public on all these issues and if the people of Gopalganj give me a chance, I will work on all these issues.
