Akula Hanumanth, an Independent candidate from Koratla, Telangana handed out slippers to voters, asking them to hit him if he fails to deliver on promises if he is elected.
The candidate also handed out his resignation letter for a future date to indicate that the people have the right to get him off power if he does not take action and work well.
In photos, a woman is seen holding a slipper in her hand, smiling at the candidate as he greets her. A man behind him is seen holding a carton full of slippers.
Hanumanth is up against ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi or TRS candidate K Vidya Sagar Rao who had won the Korutla seat three times consecutively.
