Video campaining

This time the elections have raised to new technical heights.The national election commission has come up with videos and commercials which urge people to vote.In these videos Aamir Khan, the renowned actor compares the process of election of the candidate to the selection of a spouse for your daughter.It strikes a chord with all the generations, as finding the perfect groom for their daughter is the parent's ultimate dream.You can find the first video here

In another video firstly a woman is shown buying tomatoes from a street hawker.She chooses the best available & refuses to take even one rotten tomato.(Why should she? :P)Then Aamir comes & says that even half of this attention is given to know how of the candidates & election process, then we can have a better government.Watch this video here

The last one is different & starts with a question that how much price will one quote for the future of his/her child?Then Aamir says that if some politician pays you an incentive for voting then think of him as a person who can sell you tomorrow & will thus make policies which will destroy your child's future.He warns us not to take anything from such politicians & do not vote in favour of them.This is the link to the video

This campaign is one of the good initiatives that Indian media has taken.The Association for Democratic Reforms has started a fresh & novel way to make the voters aware of the politicians in their constituency.We can find about the candidates in our constituency by either calling the toll free number 1800110440 or by sending a SMS to 56070 by typing MYNETA followed by a space followed by the pincode of your area.

Apart from that everybody knows about the Congress' "Jai ho" & BJP's answer to that which is "Bhay ho"
