The move has sparked diverse reactions on social media. Some see it as an innovative campaign strategy, while others criticise it as an early sign of vote-buying.

Some users are wary of the gesture, viewing it as a precursor to vote-buying practices that could extend into national elections. They argue that such tactics set a precedent for unethical behaviour in politics. Others respond with light-hearted comments, showing a mix of amusement and resignation.
