BJP's Lok Sabha candidate from Deoria, Uttar Pradesh, Shashank Mani Tripathi, faced a race against time to file his nomination papers.
With the deadline rapidly approaching, Tripathi had to sprint approximately 100 meters to the nomination center.
Tripathi's tardiness stemmed from attending a program organized in his honor, which was delayed.
Despite the delay, Tripathi remained composed, drawing upon his athleticism from his college days at IIT to complete the dash.
Tripathi's family has a rich history in politics, with his father serving as a Lok Sabha member and his grandfather as an IAS officer and member of the Uttar Pradesh legislative council.
Tripathi expressed gratitude to his supporters who joined him in the impromptu sprint, aiding him in meeting the crucial deadline.
