Written by : TNM Staff

A decent crowd had gathered at tge Subash Chandra Bose Municipal park in Perumbavoor, Kerala to witness the annual Farmers Day celebrations.

As the events went on as usual, it was 'fancy dress' competition that caught everyone's attention.

Dressed like a farmer, wearing a lungi and a farmer’s cap was Perumbavoor MLA Eldhose Kunnappilly. The MLA had also smeared mud all over his body and appeared on stage with a plough in his hands . He then delivered a small speech on the life of a farmer.

But the act did not end there. The MLA also danced to the tunes of a local farmers' song along with others.

The program was named Chingodayam and for the MLA this was the apt time to inspire more people in his constituency to take up farming.
