Sanganer, Nov. 16 : A maverick political candidate here has adopted a quite unusual method to draw voters'' attention. He sprinkles Gangajal or the holy water of River Ganges all around during his campaigning. 

Rajendra Patel is contesting elections for the Rajasthan legislature from Sanganer near Jaipur on the ticket of former BJP leader Uma Bharati''s newly floated Bharatiya Janashakti Party. 

He has undertaken the task of purifying his constituency by sprinkling holy water all around him, on roads in the lanes and by-lanes while campaigning in his constituency.

The drama appears to be to influence Hindus, who revere River Ganga.
