With ‘tilak’ and ‘kalava’, Bora paints campaign saffron

LUCKNOW: Donning white kurta pyjama, sadri and a saffron scarf with a white lotus printed on it, BJP candidate from Lucknow North assembly constituency Dr Neeraj Bora sets out to campaign for his re-election from the constituency every morning along with family members and over 50 odd supporters.

Every evening ‘Team Bora’ finalizes a campaign strategy for the next day. Accordingly, party workers are communicated about areas where campaigning will be done. While supporters ensure that all arrangements are in place for a campaign before Dr Bora arrives, another team handling online canvassing keeps posting his activities on social media. He also takes out time to do a ‘Facebook Live’, explaining what he has done in five years and what he would do if re-elected.
