DAMAULI: When most of the political leaders are busy publicising their party in the traditional old way, a candidate from Nepali Congress in Tanahun thought of using modern technology for the same.

NC central committee member Pradip Paudel, who is contesting the provincial election from Tanahun Constituency-1, used remote-control drone for the election campaign and ask for votes from the locals.

“The main purpose was to let everybody know that the party can experiment with latest technologies to publicise the party and attract voters for the upcoming polls,” Paudel said rather sarcastically.

The latest technology was used in an election meet organised in Sishaghat of Tanahun district this afternoon. The drone was also used to shower flower petals in the event.

Posters, pamphlets and banners with NC logo were tied on the drone and flown some 200 metres above the floor.

Meanwhile, locals present in the meet were captivated to see drone flying in the sky with NC banners.
