Upon arriving at Kanpur Central Station for his grand entrance as the BJP’s official candidate, Ramesh Awasthi encountered a humorous case of mistaken identity.
Party workers, eager to welcome him, inadvertently greeted and garlanded Babu Ram Nishad, a BJP Rajya Sabha MP, mistaking him for Awasthi.
Although the mix-up was swiftly resolved, it became a widely discussed incident.
The BJP has nominated a new face- Ramesh Awasthi for the Kanpur Lok Sabha seat.
