In the run-up to the 2019 LS elections, Kavitha, D/o KCR gave a call to the farmers of her constituency to go file 100s of nominations against @narendramodi in Varanasi.

The farmers loved the idea. But gave a small twist to it.
Instead of filing nominations in Varanasi, a whopping 245 farmers filed their nominations against Kavitha! 176 farmers finally stayed in the fight.

12 EVMs had to be deployed in each polling booth.

The farmers got 90,000 votes. Kavitha badly lost that election.
BJP's @Arvindharmapuri won against Kavitha by a massive 70,000 votes.

The margin would have been much higher had the farmers not contested, but never before has such strong political messaging gone out.

Now you can decide why farmers booted out KCR's daughter.
