Chhattisgarh: A 30-year-old man from Balrampur, Chhattisgarh, cut off his finger and presented it to Goddess Kali at a temple following the BJP-led NDA’s victory in the Lok Sabha elections.
On June 4, Durgesh Pandey, a supporter of the BJP, became depressed upon learning that the Congress was initially leading in the Lok Sabha election trends. Subsequently, he visited a Kali temple and prayed for the BJP’s victory.
Later, when Pandey saw the BJP emerging as the largest party and the NDA crossing the majority mark of 272 seats, he was overjoyed. He returned to the Kali temple and chopped off his left-hand finger, offering it to the goddess.
After that, he attempted to stop the bleeding by tying a cloth around the wound, but it only worsened over time. Concerned about his condition, his family rushed him to the Community Health Centre in Samari.
