Chanakya, the fish, swims to photo of US presidential candidate Donald Trump during an event in Chennai
Chennai:
Donald Trump will win, predicts a political pundit in Chennai, hours ahead of the American vote. This expert has gills and makes its assessments underwater.
Meet Chanakya the fish. It opted for the Republican candidate when pictures of the two rivals were introduced in two floats inside its aquarium.
The event was organised to spread awareness about mosquitoes and Malaria, but the prediction for the world's most watched polls, by a fish, naturally was the highlight.
Supporters of Hillary Clinton can take heart, however.
The fish has been off the mark in quite a few predictions.
Chanakya got all the last eight matches in the World Cup football correct.
But it wrongly guessed an India win in the World Cup cricket finals. Australia won.
Hariharan, who organised the event, said, "Trump is the fish's choice. Our focus is to raise awareness on mosquitos... 2.7 million people die, mostly children due to Malaria and mosquito bites."
During World Cup cricket and football matches, such gimmicks are used to raise awareness on social themes like AIDS, wildlife protection and child labour, Hariharan said.
