Amid buzz for Ranchi Nagar Nigam elections 2026, Congress has blown the whistle on BJP’s unconventional voter outreach: biscuits stamped with their mayoral candidate’s mugshot. A formal delegation met the Election Commission Monday, pressing for punitive measures against this ‘brazen MCC breach.’
Leveraging the biscuit as an election icon, BJP allies have rolled out market distributions of themed packets, each flaunting the hopeful’s portrait. The venue’s Modi flex banner only amplified accusations of top-down desperation. ‘Faith evaporated in state leaders; now it’s national rescue mission,’ Congress quipped.
Cementing the case, incriminating footage from a BJP state official’s page reveals coordinated largesse. This isn’t casual sharing—it’s proof of premeditated appeal to taste buds and loyalties alike.
Distributing personalized edibles screams inducement, flouting guidelines meant to safeguard impartiality. Congress warns of a domino effect if unchecked, urging the poll body to wield authority decisively.
In Jharkhand’s charged atmosphere, the ‘biscuit model’ embodies evolving electioneering edges. Success or slapdown? The verdict could ripple through civic contests nationwide, reminding all that rules trump refreshments.
