Unique election campaign for civic polls in Bangalore
By ANIFriday, March 26, 2010
Bangalore, Mar 26 (ANI): Bangalore is witnessing a unique campaign for the forthcoming city corporation elections as Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) candidate Amrita is distributing plants to everyone while asking for their votes.
Amrita is asking them to plant the saplings to turn the ‘concrete jungle’ into a green city.
“Bangalore is no more a green city because we hardly see a tree, we hardly see greenery around us. We only see dug up roads, we only see spoiled roads and Bangalore is filled with traffic,” said 23-year old Amrita.
” It just flashed in my mind that why I should not give a plant to everybody while campaigning. I just give a plant and also say that please plant it in front of your house and please plant greenery,” she added.
Amrita, who has already created ripples being a popular television anchor of a local channel, is now attracting a lot of attention through her distinctive style of campaigning. (ANI)
