It is crucial to launch for any candidate if it has to promote its ideology and solutions to the issues. You will catch the attention of potential voters if your message is attractive and unique”.
Keeping the importance of uniqueness in election campaign in mind Rajindra Gymkahana & Mahendra Club Patiala candidates, Mohit Dhoddy and Dr Neeraj Goyal launched their campaign in a different way. They are spreading their election campaign messages in famous cartoon characters – Chotta Bheem, Chacha Chaudhary, Sabu , Tug of war.
A club member on the condition of anonymity on this campaign said, in one of the message, a cartoon is made of a lady advocate says “Being Advocate, I always believe in Safety and Security of Women & Kids in Cub. So we need to choose wisely and give the reins of RGMC in safe hands”, are they admitting, that club is not safe for women and children?
