I faced some challenges from my opposition side. They replaced my election campaign banners, posters and other materials forcefully. To tackle this issue, I prepared teams of political workers ward wise, who monitored 24 hour my publicity material. My teams motivated my supporters, who visited people door to door, and held corner meetings.
