Uttar Pradesh minister and Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party (SBSP) chief Om Prakash Rajbhar's supporters in Dharampura village treat him as a deity and the politician doesn't mind at all.
Some supporters in the village in Sukhpura area keep his picture at their homes and recite the 'Omprakash Chalisa', the hymns composed in his honour.
His supporters said they gather once in a week at the village's Kali temple, place his statue there and pray that he becomes chief minister.
When asked why they do this, Sugri Devi said, "He is God for the poor and their true well-wisher."
Another villager, Ajanta Devi, said, "Om Prakash helps everyone and is advocating a liquor ban. I wish him to become the CM."
