They move around villages with ‘palla’ on their heads and interact with all villagers, mostly females.Villagers in Dhar have devised a way of differentiating between the two candidates now. “Ek bhabhi pao padti hai aur dusri gale lagati hai (One touches feet and the other gives a hug),” said one Jamuni Bai, resident of Nekpur village in the constituency.Both candidates have evolved their strategy and style to woo voters. While Verma is asking for votes during her campaigning by hugging all women, Gautam is making sure she touches feet of all women she meets during the trail.With Congress preferring to pit Prabha instead of her husband Balmukund Gautam, the battle for the Dhar seat has turned extremely interesting.
