Shocking visuals have emerged from Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh, where a contender for the village head (Pradhan) post carried out a massive show of strength. Even before securing the post, the aspirant took out a procession with a convoy of nearly 100 vehicles. Supporters were seen performing dangerous stunts on moving cars and bikes, openly violating traffic rules. The incident created chaos on the roads and raised serious concerns about public safety. Large crowds, speeding vehicles, and reckless driving posed a threat to commuters. The episode is being seen as a direct challenge to law and order, with questions being raised over enforcement and administrative action. The display of power at the stage of mere candidature has triggered debate over political conduct and discipline in rural elections.
