A former government official in Bihar, Khurshid Alam, surprised people at a recent public event. He brought a garland made of shoes and said he wanted the public to use it to show their disapproval if they were not happy with his work.
An Unusual Offer
Alam’s unusual gesture was meant to show that he is willing to be held responsible for his actions while he was in office. He wanted the people to judge him and express their feelings openly. Instead of the shoe garland, however, his supporters chose a different way to honor him.
His supporters showed their appreciation by weighing him with 107 kilograms of coins. This happened after Alam said the public could weigh him with shoes if they felt he hadn’t done a good job. Alam made it clear, “If the public is not satisfied with my work, they should weigh me with shoes, not coins,” highlighting his commitment to public service and accountability.
Close Ties to the Chief Minister
Khurshid Alam is known to be close to Nitish Kumar, the Chief Minister. He is also known for his unique and sometimes surprising style. His act of bringing a garland of shoes to the event shows that he wants to be accountable to the people he used to serve. This unusual approach to dealing with the public has gotten a lot of attention and started conversations in the area. Politicians often seek new ways to connect with voters; explore how social media has reshaped political communication.
The event in the Sikta Assembly area shows how a politician used an unconventional method to connect with the public and show he is accountable. Khurshid Alam’s actions are part of a bigger trend where politicians are trying to find new ways to connect with and respond to the people they represent.
