Candidates, including those from major political parties like AIADMK and PMK , are grabbing eye-balls with their campaign ideas in reaching out to common voters in Vellore, Ranipet, Tiruvannamalai, and Tirupattur districts for the past few days.
AIADMK candidate for Vellore Lok Sabha constituency, S. Pasupathi’s campaign literally made people stop and watch when he drove an auto rickshaw on the streets of Periyakuppam village near Ambur town on Saturday.
A doctor by profession, Mr. Pasupathi drove the vehicle for around 100 metre before he made tea in a roadside shop for people around there. A few days ago, he visited a farmer’s market in Gudiyatham town near Vellore where he sat on a stool and sold vegetables including bitter gourd and tomatoes. Pasupathi later met farmers in the market and promised that new schemes for traders will be implemented if the AIADMK wins in the elections. He also made note of their grievances.
