Jaiswal has also tattooed slogans below their images like ‘Kishan Kanhaiya Akhilesh Bhaiya’ and ‘Radha Dimple Yadav,’ MP Kannauj. Below the image of SP patriarch Mulayam, is his name and SP’s official symbol. He has tattooed both arms with image of a bicycle and names of the party’s founder and its national chief.

Jaiswal, who plies his auto between Ayar and Pandeypur area here, apprises passengers of the schemes launched by the CM.

He also accompanie­d the procession of SP candidate Lalji Sonkar when he went to file nomination papers from Ajgara assembly constituen­cy. Jaiswal is associated with the party for more than 15 years and spreads the word about the policies of the SP chief among locals.

Hailing from Ayar village in Ajagara constituen­cy, Jaiswal says, “I am inspired by developmen­t policies and vision of Akhilesh bhaiya. I want to see him as CM again. He is a ‘messiah’ of the poor and works for the cause of state’s developmen­t. So I got his image tattooed on my back,” Jais- wal said. He calls Akhilesh Yadav ‘Kishan Kanhaiya’ of developmen­t and is confident of his victory in the elections. SP candidate Lalji Sonkar said Jaiswal once called on the chief minister. SP district unit president Dr Piyush Yadav said, “His service to the party is unique. He tries to convince his passengers to support the party and misses no chance to apprise them of the SP government’s developmen­t works.”
