Third Eye: Worth their weight in ladoos, a Lieutenant of his mother, and with chiselled six-pack abs!

Worth their weight in ladoos!
In Haryana, elections appear to be more like festivals. From ladoos to ragni, a folk song in the Haryanvi tradition, the polls appear to be a festivity. Parties engage singers to perform ragnis before candidates appear to speak at public gatherings. Also, in the villages, the supporters weigh contestants on a machine with ladoos on the other side to distribute among voters.

A Lieutenant of his mother
After being denied a ticket from Pilibhit this time, former BJP MP Varun Gandhi made his first public appearance in Sultanpur. He introduced himself as a lieutenant of his mother Maneka, who is running for a second term from there. Gandhi also made his cell phone number public for anybody to call in an emergency, but he made sure the media switched off their cameras before he did so.

With chiselled six-pack abs!
Haryana is well-known for its athletes and the popularity of sports among youngsters. In villages across the state, children are seen jogging and exercising. To capitalise on this enthusiasm, BJP MP Naveen Jindal’s team created a campaign song about his sporting achievements. Jindal is a skeet shooter who has represented India in Asian Games. The song also mentions him being an accomplished polo player with six-pack abs.
