Novel methods to impress signs

Hyderabad, April 14: Political parties have come up innovative campaigns to create an impression among the voters at the 11th hour before the state goes for the first phase of elections.

The Telugu Desam, has asked all its activists to wear yellow dress on April 15.

The party has sent more than two crore SMSes urging people to wear yellow. as it is auspicious. “TD is auspicious for the state. Do vote for Cycle-Nara Chandra Babu Naidu,” the SMS said.

The restrictions on election campaign in the last two days has forced the TD to ask its activists to wear yellow to urge the voter to vote for it.

The Praja Rajyam is reaching voters through the mobile phone. The network operator sends a business card message asking if a user wants to accept the operator’s logo. It does not give any hint on what the logo is about.

When a user accepts the message, the Praja Rajyam symbol, a rain engine, is displayed on the mobile phone with Praja Rajyam written in Telugu. It will continue to be displayed on the mobile phone unless the user changes the settings manually by going to the settings and switching off the operator logo.
