“No road, no vote” read the banner that scores of people unfurled. They chanted slogans to demand a pucca road to their villages, and vowed to boycott the Lok Sabha polls if it was not fulfilled.
Hailing from villages under Chhotka Nuaon panchayat in Buxar district, around 180km west from Bihar’s capital, the people sat for hours in the sun near Gobinaopur village — that is part of the Chhotka Nuaon panchayat — on Sunday to showcase their demand. They asserted that they would not let any politician venture in the area to seek votes for the Lok Sabha election.
