"Don't Eat If Your Parents Don't Vote For Me": Sena MLA's Request To Children

Kalamnuri MLA Santosh Bangars remarks came less than a week after the Election Commission issued directives against the use of children in poll-related activities.

An MLA of the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena has courted controversy by asking children not to eat for two days if their parents don't vote for him.

Kalamnuri MLA Santosh Bangar's remarks came less than a week after the Election Commission issued directives against the use of children in poll-related activities.

“If your parents don't vote for me in the next election, don't eat for two days,” Bangar is seen telling school children in a viral video, shot when he visited a zilla parishad school in Hingoli district.
