Hours before the campaigning for the high-voltage election ended in Rajasthan today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended two major rallies Sumerpur and Dausa. After addressing the people in Dausa, the PM also played a traditional drum.
The state will go to Assembly polls on December 7, and results will be out on December 11, along with Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Mizoram.
It was not the first time that the PM played drums. Even on November 16, he was seen playing traditional drum during a rally in Chhattisgarh.
As he had taken the stage, local leaders urged him to play adholak and he happily accepted and played.
