"Please vote for hand symbol and ensure that Telugu Desam Party candidate Bhuma Brahmanand Reddy wins the by-elections in Nandyal."
Sounds absurd? But that is what TDP leader and Vijayawada MLA Jaleel Khan has appealed to Nandyal voters. This gentleman, who claimed to have done B Com with physics and maths, apparently does not know the election symbol of the TDP as he got elected on the YSR Congress party ticket.
Participating in the election campaign at Nandyal to attract the Muslim voters, Jaleel Khan sent the people into laughter by asking them vote for “hastham” (hand) in the by-elections and help Bhuma elected. He later realised his mistake and appealed to the voters to vote for cycle.
The other day, too, Jaleel Khan entered the news for wrong seasons saying that Jagan would not do anything for the people except putting his hand on their heads and kissing them.
The media did not lose the opportunity and flashed it in the social media. It has now become a talking point.
