Candidates for Assembly Election adopt varieties of tactics

By Dinesh Kamath

NAVI MUMBAI: Few days are left for the assembly election to take place and the candidates are become very impatient. They are trying all possible tricks to attract maximum voters by applying minimum efforts. They are focusing particularly on crowded areas so that they can convey their messages to maximum possible voters with just one visit to that place. The intensity of the election campaigns is increasing with the passing of every day and with the Election Day drawing closer and closer.

The candidates in the forthcoming election are leaving no stone unturned to reach out to the voters and they are using all kinds of methods, some of which were never used in the past elections. ‘Online propaganda’ is the new code word of the younger ones among the candidates. They are using all kinds of social networking sites like Whatsapp, Facebook, Blogs, Twitters etc. etc.  

The older ones among the candidates prefer straight face-to-face interactions with the voters. The modern candidates mix up more with urban voters while the traditional ones prefer to exchange words with rural voters.

The candidates visit from one place to another, harping about their achievements and promising to bring about kind of developments which their rivals can never think about.

The local candidates prefer to invite the state-level leaders as well as national-level leaders to the city to give boost to their chances of winning the elections.

Thus these are the various tactics adopted by all the candidates to attract maximum voters towards their side.
