The pair interacted with people on the busy market streets and also offered prayers at a temple.

¿We have come from Delhi. My name is Ranveer, and we have been visiting all the markets for a week, talking to people. The response has been warm,¿ the prime minister lookalike told ANI. The Amit Shah of the pair said, ¿We have received so much love from the public that I think we will win by five lakh votes.¿
