15-foot garland of apples stripped in seconds by Indian politician supporters
- 4 years ago
This was the hilarious moment supporters of an Indian politician strip clean a 15-foot tall garland of apples in seconds.
Local leaders of the Congress party had organised an event to welcome D K Shiva Kumar, a noted politician, who was visiting Mandya in southern India on November 7.
The highlight of the event was a huge garland made of apples, which stood almost 15-feet-tall.
The plan was to hoist the garland from a crane and put it around the politician’s neck as he arrived.
To make sure the plan worked, the organisers decided to do a rehearsal.
They lifted the garland and lowered it to before a huge crowd of supporters waiting for the politician.
The sight of the fruits drove the supporters to stampede and pluck them from the garland.
As their pleas were ignored, the organisers could only helplessly watch the garland stripped to a few thin strands of thread.
An organiser said they had anticipated the development and had a spare garland of apples.
The event went as planned and the politician left the city smiling.
