This was the strategy the lender did respond to his outcry. The main objective was to get the lender to empathy which the lender has already done of you check the response from shashan.
He cannot he has already claimed that he is an addict. Whatever he is doing now is to gather attention and sympathy from the community and the person who has loaned the money.
The key is discipline, people changes when something big happen to his life.
I think the main objective is to not get negative feedback which will lead him to get kicked from the campaign, while signature campaign might be his main source of income, so that's the only way to pay off the loan.
Regardless @OP is still an addict or not, it's back to his choice, but the most important thing is shasan should receive his money first and it's an alarm for other lender if they want lend to @OP.
