According to the concept, the Election Commission will approach regular citizens and ask them to in-turn approach other people to vote on May 12. These people will approach the general citizens at malls, railway stations, bus stands, go on door-to-door campaigns and also conduct street plays. The citizens will educate the public about the importance of voting.
A programme is also in the pipeline where 20 and more artists will take part in it. it will be held in Vidhan Soudha. Eminent filmmaker and lyricist Yograj Bhatt is allegedly conceptualising the show and he is apparently writing an anthem for the elections. It will be rolled out in a couple of days.
