It's about noon in the Paraukh village, in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur Dehat district, and the ancestral home of President contender Ram Nath Kovind is already buzzing with song, dance and dhols. "Nach lene de mainu, nach lene de... Baba ki bani sarkaar... ki aaj mainu nach lene de (Let us dance, let us dance today... Baba's government is coming)," is the song on loop being sung by two gentlemen from the village, one of them also playing the harmonium.
