Daltonganj, October 27: A slingshot (read gulel) in the hands of the nodal officer SVEEP, Md Jawed Hussain! Many may find it ridiculous. Many will see it as a connect with the PVTG first-time voters.
It’s for mobilising the first time as well as elder voters of the particularly vulnerable tribal group Parhaiyya of Homia hamlet under the Paton block which is a segment of the Chhaterpur assembly constituency to vote on November 13.
Parhaiyya youths are fond of slingshots
Parhaiyya youths are pretty fond of possessing and using slingshots. They bring the flying birds down from the air. They have experience in it. If an outsider does it, they feel a positive affinity for the outsider. The outsider nodal officer of SVEEP gains the affinity for himself by the PVTG first-time voters. Md Jawed Hussain knew he had to try to win the trust of the first-time voters of the particularly vulnerable tribal group Parhaiyya here at Homia hamlet.
Jawed known everywhere by his first name proved he too is a practise of the slingshot.

First-time PVTG voters
The first-time voters of the particularly vulnerable tribal group Parhaiyya assured the nodal officer of their participation in voting this Vidhan Sabha election voting for which is due on November 13.
Homia hamlet of Parhaiyyas has 587 voters but in this year’s Lok Sabha election, they voted just 48 percent only. 52 per cent of Parhaiyya voters abstained from voting.
Nodal officer Jawed said, “Homia hamlet booth is one among our 146 booths in the whole of Palamu where voting percentage this Lok Sabha election has been less than 50 per cent. Our SVEEP is too passionately focused and concentrated on such low turnout booths.”
The entourage of DC Shashi Ranjan and nodal officer SVEEP Jawed here at Homia hamlet in the very recent past was to motivate and ready the self-alienated PVTG voters to cast their votes.
