Congress Leader Marks End Of Campaign In Tamil Nadu With An Unusual Pic

Congress's Mohan Kumaramangalam tweeted an unusual picture to mark the conclusion of the poll campaign in Tamil Nadu on Sunday. Instead of sharing photos from the campaign trail, Mr Kumaramangalam tweeted a picture of his worn-out slippers. 

"The end of a campaign," wrote Mr Kumaramangalam, who is contesting from the Omalur seat in Salem district. "I can honestly say I left it all on the field and saved nothing for the ride home. In god we trust and god comes in all shapes and sizes," he added. 

His picture shows a pair of slippers, so well-worn that its black exterior has peeled off in certain parts.
