In a democracy, politicians are people’s representatives. So citizens expect them to visit their constituencies and take cognisance of the infrastructure and overall well-being.
And when they do not do even the basic things, this is what people do. A group of villagers from Hapur district in UP made their MLA walk on a water-logged stretch of the road when he visited the village.

As per villagers, the MLA never visited the village in the last 4 years since his election. And now that the UP assembly elections are coming, his visit outraged people.
This is how netizens reacted to the video.
Infuriated over flooded street with filthy water, in #Hapur, local residents of Dholpur under Gadmukteswar area forced the local BJP MLA to walk in the same. The MLA had visited the village as part of his ‘ पद यात्रा’ ahead of assembly election.#UttarPradesh pic.twitter.com/NdSX5VA17n
