A 30-year-old man in Chhattisgarh's Balrampur chopped off his finger and offered it to Goddess Kali at a temple after the BJP-led NDA won a majority in the Lok Sabha polls.
On June 4, Durgesh Pandey, a BJP supporter, went into depression when he came to know that the Congress was leading in the initial trends of the
Lok Sabha elections. He then went to the Kali temple and prayed for the BJP's victory.
Later, when Pandey saw the BJP emerging as the single largest party and NDA crossing the majority mark of 272, he was overjoyed and again went to the Kali temple where he chopped his left hand finger and offered it to the goddess.
