Voters keep an eye on who can give surprises in the election campaign. People at least think about voting for a candidate if his campaign is catchy. So a Canadian mayoral candidate used Bollywood songs as a surprise campaign. Indian-origin Deepika Damerla is running for the post of Mayor of Mississauga. He posted on social media using famous Bollywood songs to promise voters. Some people liked it, but many laughed a lot. Faced with this controversy, he apologized and deleted the post. But did the promotion go a little behind? The answer is not yet known.
'Kaya Hua Tera Wada' – This world famous Bollywood song was used by Deepika in her election campaign. Changing the lyrics, he promised not to raise citizens' property taxes if he became mayor. In fact, common citizens are worried about this property tax increase in Canada's Mississauga province. And this is where Deepika, a girl from Andhra Pradesh wanted to play. She made a video titled 'Deepika Damerla for Mississauga Mayor' in the style of a Bollywood song and posted it on social media.

Some even laughed at that video of Deepika.
The Mississauga mayoral candidate changed his mind soon after. Currently councilor of Ward No. 7 of the City of Mississauga. Deepika said on the X handle post, 'I know, many people didn't like this publicity strategy of mine. They laughed. Some even made personal attacks. Criticism must be accepted. But some comments are hateful, hateful. It is not possible for a family to digest it. Especially I made the video to convey my message to everyone, to reassure people. But that goal was not met. So I decided to delete it.' But will Deepika stop the promotion? The answer is not known.
