The man has been identified as Kedar Yadav. As per media reports, he is a politician from Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD).

Explaining his interesting choice of commute, the man said he opted to ride his buffalo since conventional means of transport were unavailable due to elections. Expressing his enthusiasm as a voter, he said he was determined to reach the polling booth to exercise his right to franchise.

He called the voting day a "festival of democracy" and appealed to the public to cast their votes by taking any means of transportation they could find.

A man quipped, “Yadav ji has proved it— the style of voting should also be desi. Song, stick, glasses—complete package!”

Another social media user said, "There is no shortage of talent in Bihar."
