KOCHIP.A. Nobel Kumar paints house with images of Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi for Lok Sabha election support.
P.A. Nobel Kumar has painted his house at Cherai in Ernakulam with images of Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi as part of the campaign for the Lok Sabha election.
Mr. Kumar, who is the State secretary of the Youth Congress, decided to paint his house with the portraits of the leaders as part of exhorting the voters to support the INDIA bloc in this election. A portrait of Hibi Eden, MP, who is seeking re-election from the Ernakulam Lok Sabha constituency as the United Democratic Front candidate, can also be seen on the wall.
He had painted his house with the images of Mr. Gandhi in support of the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ led by the Congress leader. “I had also painted my house with the images of party leaders and slogans in support of the United Democratic Front in the Assembly election held in 2021,” he said.
The Election Commission of India will hold a press conference on June 3, a day before the counting of votes polled in the Lok Sabha polls. Till the 2019 parliamentary polls, deputy election commissioners used to hold media briefings after each phase of polls, but the practice has been done away with.
