A candidate from the Indian state of Punjab has gone viral when he found out that even his own family had turned their backs on him and did not support him in the most important election battle of his life.
Neetu Shutteran Wala had run for local council in Lok Sabha, hoping to win one of the electoral seats, but when he was informed of the results of the first count, it all went dark σκο
This is because, although his family has nine eligible voters, at that time only five votes were cast in his name.
Learning the unpleasant mantas, Wala could not bear it and burst into tears in front of the cameras of the local media, with his heartbreaking image making the rounds of the internet in a very short time.
"I have nine voters in my family and no one voted for me. All my neighbors had sworn they would vote for me but they all lied to them. "I quit my job for a month trying to convince them but they sold me," said the tearful Wala, among others.
Naturally, thousands of Internet users rushed to express their support for the unfortunate candidate, but with the next wave of counting, things went a little better for Wala.
Eventually, according to the announcement of the count, the Indian candidate learned that he won more than 800 votes from his fellow citizens, but failed to win a seat in the local city council, as he collected only 0,8% of a total of one million voters.
