What happened
In a masterstroke of post-poll logistics, a Congress candidate in Khammam, Telangana, has redefined the 'social contract' by allegedly demanding the return of pressure cookers and cash distributed to voters after sensing an imminent defeat in the municipal elections. Residents of Ward 10, apparently failing to meet their 'Performance KPIs' (voting for him), staged a protest by dumping the brand-new cookers in the middle of the road. Political analysts suggest this could lead to a new era where 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' is replaced by 'Cooker Bachao, Vote Dilao,' ensuring that no bribe goes to waste in a truly efficient circular economy.
