All political parties and contestants are depending on hired cadres to participate in their campaign and also in the election meetings of the star campaigners. Depending on their capacities, some candidates are paying more and some a little less.
In case the candidates do not pay up on the same day the ‘hired cadre’ will create big scenes either before their home or the home of the agent who hired the ‘workers’.
Those who attend one party meeting in the morning in all probability would attend another party meeting in the afternoon or evening wearing that party caps, scarves and holding flags painted in hue of the party.
Women are attending these events carrying Bonalu painted in the particular party colour. If they participate with Bonalu the remuneration is higher.
Some contestants find it difficult to catch hold of “workers” if they are already engaged. However, this election which has given handful of work for common people has also become quite interesting for onlookers.
