While the rally has attracted waves of laughter and entertainment from many, others are sceptical, labelling it as nothing more than a publicity stunt designed for social media engagement. The true motive behind this remains shrouded in mystery, leading to speculation that it could be a promotional campaign for an upcoming product or service.
