Walk around any Indian town and the hoardings you usually see are of politicians, or consumer products. But a series of billboards in this Madhya Pradesh town will come as a surprise.<\/p>\n
It is a dog that occupies prime position in hoardings around Multai town of Betul district, as its owner celebrates its “birthday”, and even garlanded it on the occasion.<\/p>\n
Not only that, Nanchu Aggarwal, in a jibe at the language of political banners that usually dot public spaces in Indian towns, has also listed the “party members” of his canine “candidate” Wafadar.<\/p>\n
And in a rib-tickling manner, they have been named ‘Dalbadlu’ (defector), Dhokebaaz (deceiver), ‘Chaplus’ (sycophant), ‘Khujli’ (itch), ‘Pehchano Kaun’ (guess who), ‘Chharra’ (lackey), ‘Jhankibaaz’ (big-talker), ‘Phekulal’ (bragger), and ‘Mauka Parast’ (opportunist).<\/p>\n
These hoardings, which have also gone viral on social media, have become a hot topic of discussion among the town people.<\/p>\n
According to local residents, the hoardings have been designed like celebratory hoardings displayed by political parties and are meant to poke fun at sycophants.<\/p>\n
