In the video it can be seen that with garlands around its neck and folded hands, Abhishek Banerjee’s statue is mounted on an open jeep. The statue has been surrounded by his supporters who are raising slogans in support of their candidate.

A few lauded the step as an ‘innovative’ thought while others lamented his move calling it as avoiding interacting with people.  However, this unique campaign stunt has stood out in the 2019 polls.
