BELIEVE IT OR NOT- Check this red saree or this blue sareeIt happened in the recent national election in India.
The ex prime minister's party(BJP) distributed sarees in a election campaign in his constituency
For those who were not lucky yet to see their wives wear it, ( saree is a 5.5 meter long dress( see how difficult it is for indian husbands;)still our population is much more than europe;) clothe worn by indian ladies traditionally)
21 poor women were killed and several injured in a

Its very common in rural areas of india.I dont think americans will take the money and vote for him, but may be for the opponent.LOL
