While netas campaign all over Uttar Pradesh with pamphlets and promises, Roberstsganj sitting MLA has stepped up the game.
BJP’s Bhupesh Chaubey has decided to face anti-incumbency and anger in the way of his re-election head on - through the path of repentance.
Addressing constituents in Sonbhadra, Chaubey climbed on his chair, held his ears and did sit-ups - seeking forgiveness for mistakes that he made during the past 5 years of his tenure.
While the audience cheered, some of his party colleagues tried to stop him. But Chaubey remained determined in his penance.
Innovative? Yes. Dramatic? Yes! Will it work? Robertsganj to decide.
