Telangana Panchayat Polls Feature Unique Campaigns

In Telangana, people running for village leader positions are using very creative ways to get votes.

Some are using unusual symbols like cricket stumps and scissors.

One man, who has a disability, is walking 200 kilometers to support his wife who is running for a village leader position.

In one village, people are dressing up as monkeys to show they will solve the monkey problem.

Many people who lost in the last election are trying again and promising to help the village.

The campaigns are making chicken and other foods more expensive because candidates are buying a lot of food for voters and their helpers.

It is estimated that a lot of money is being spent on these campaigns.

Women voters are very important in these elections because there are more women than men, and many seats are reserved for women.

Candidates are trying hard to get the support of women voters by offering them gifts and incentives.
