Monday, 18 November 2024 | R Sharma | BOKARO

In the bustling streets of Dhanbad's Bank More, amid vibrant crowds and colorful shops, one vendor stands out—not just for his delicious gupchup (pani puri) but for his unique attire and infectious enthusiasm. Clad head-to-toe in bright orange, adorned with BJP symbols, this gupchup vendor, Chote Lal, has become somewhat of a local celebrity.

 

When asked about his striking outfit, he explained with a warm smile, "I'm a devoted BJP follower, and chanting 'Ram Nam' is my mantra." This isn’t just fashion for him; it’s a reflection of his deep-seated beliefs. For Chote Lal, serving gupchup in BJP colors is as much about his love for his profession as it is about his dedication to his chosen political ideology. The bright orange hue of his attire, a symbol of his support for BJP, is now part of his signature look.

 

Locals have grown fond of this spirited vendor, admiring how he merges his livelihood with his ideals. For some, he's become a fixture not only for a quick snack but also for a moment of lighthearted conversation, and maybe even a dash of political commentary. His booth has now become a popular stop where snacks and political devotion blend, adding a unique flavor to the street food culture in Dhanbad.

 

As he expertly prepares and serves his treats, his fervor for BJP and his friendly banter make him a standout figure in the community. In a city where politics and street food are both close to the heart, Chote Lal has found the perfect recipe for staying relevant—and unforgettable. His gupchup stand has become more than just a snack stop; it’s now a meeting point for discussions on politics, faith, and life in general, creating a lively and spirited atmosphere.

 

Chote Lal’s story is a reminder that even in the simplest of settings, people find ways to celebrate their beliefs and passions.
