Candidates organise sexual favours for political workers during campaign trail
Candidates organise sexual favours for political workers during campaign trail
As much as the voter, every candidate standing for any election knows, his fate can be decided by the political worker.
A neta can have anywhere between 20 and 500 chamchas working for him and it's their involvement during the campaign trail that decides the leader's success.
For a month now, these political workers have been swamped by sexual favours.
Sources say, during every election, and this one is no different, political workers are given incentives to keep them happy by servicing them with prostitutes.
These political workers hold the key to a candidate's success during the campaign trail, which begins approximately a month before poll day.
Tirchhi Topiwale: Political workers hold the key to a candidate's success and so, no effort is spared to keep them happy.
POLL DANCE: During every election, political workers are given incentives to keep them happy by servicing them with prostitutes.
I am not aware about such parties, neither do I nor the MNS ever attend such parties.

This is unheard of and I cannot imagine any political party doing this in Maharashtra. No political party would indulge in this and the Shiv Sena will never do it.
Neelam Gorhe, Shiv Sena spokesperson

In my 25-year-old political career I have never heard about this. This is totally false and nothing of this sort happens in Maharashtra.u00a0
