On the heels of the entevaka campaign that took shape after new-generation director Ashiqu Abu’s viral Facebook post regarding the recent bargate scandal in Kerala, the social media revolutionaries are prepping up for another unique way of protest.
The latest in the line, Donate a Penny to the Finance Minister, calls for the anti-corruption supporters of the state to gather at MG Road, Kochi, on 25 January, 10 am, to beg for the allegedly corrupt minister.
When contacted, Rahul Pashupalan, the man behind the campaign, told Folomojo: “Through the Donate a Penny movement, we want to reach to the masses. Only 15% of the state population use social media. Hence, campaigning in Facebook or Twitter is just not enough.”
The 27-year-old is a familiar name in the Kerala media circles as he was one of the organisers of the controversial Kiss of Love campaign.
Meanwhile, the hashtag #entevaka500 is still trending on Twitter and more number of people are taking to Twitter and Facebook to joke about Mani. Have a look!
