A dog is considered to be man’s best friend and companion, and it is not without reason, as the canine stays with its owner, follows them wherever allowed, and is foremost, loyal.

In the ongoing election season in the country, as the political temperatures are soaring high, one BJP worker found a really unique way to take the animal-master relationship to a whole new, innovative level.

As reported from north Maharashtra’s Nandurbar town, a dog, with pro-BJP stickers pasted on its body, was detained along with its master on Monday even as polling for the fourth phase of the Lok Sabha elections was going on.

Eknath Motiram Chaudhary (65), a resident of Navnathnagar area, was spotted with his dog near Andhare Hospital on Monday afternoon. The dog’s body was found covered with stickers bearing the BJP’s symbol and the message “Modi Lao, Desh Bachao” (Vote for Modi and save the country), a local police official said.

The police received a complaint about the dog and its owner while the polling was underway, he said.

A case under section 171 (A) of the IPC for violation of election rules which prohibit campaigning on polling day was registered against Choudhary while the police have asked the municipal corporation to take custody of the dog, the official added.
