Candidates Sign Bond Papers to Win Voters Trust in Telangana 'Panchayat Polls'

In Telangana’s ongoing Gram Panchayat elections, candidates are switching to an unusual campaign style to win voters confidence: “bond paper promises.” 

With villagers showing little belief in general verbal pledges, contestants are now printing their assurances on legal bond paper to create a unique campaign identity. 

Across various



districts, candidates are distributing written declarations promising development work, transparency, and accountability. Many are even agreeing to resign if they fail to deliver.

In Mancherial district's Bellampalli mandal, Malagurijala Sarpanch candidate Gomas Shyamalatha Srikant is distributing pamphlets listing 20 promises, including one unusual guarantee — waiving house tax if elected.
