Visakhapatnam: As poll campaigning is coming to a close, high decibel tracks blare out
YSRCP North constituency candidate KK Raju greeting vendors during a poll campaign held in Visakhapatnam
It was 6:30 am when the auto-rickshaw roamed along the streets of Seethammadhara with a high-decibel song ‘Mee intlo manchi jarigivunte.., mee bidda ku thodu ga meere nadavandi’ (if you think good has happened at home, walk along with me to extend support) playing in the backgroundzz Even before the campaign track of the YSRCP drowns in the city traffic, another campaign vehicle passes through the street playing ‘Nayakuda Nayakuda..
Visakhapatnam : It was 6:30 am when the auto-rickshaw roamed along the streets of Seethammadhara with a high-decibel song ‘Mee intlo manchi jarigivunte.., mee bidda ku thodu ga meere nadavandi’ (if you think good has happened at home, walk along with me to extend support) playing in the backgroundzz Even before the campaign track of the YSRCP drowns in the city traffic, another campaign vehicle passes through the street playing ‘Nayakuda Nayakuda.. malli nuvve ravali..’ (leader..leader..you should come again) song, followed by a voice that seeks support from the voters for alliance Lok Sabha candidate M Sribharat and MLA candidate P Vishnu Kumar Raju.
A few minutes later, the voice of founder of Jai Bharat National Party VV Lakshminarayana blares, seeking support of the people in the 2024 polls.
In another corner of the lane, the audio goes ‘Mee votu Botcha Jhansi gari ki’ mee gurthu ‘fan’, ‘mee MLA abhyarthi KK Raju garu…’
As the campaigning deadline for 2024 polls is coming to a close, vehicles move to every nook and corner of the colonies to popularise the candidates in the fray and seek their support reiterating the party’s symbol and candidates’ name.
Whether one switches on the television set or clicks on the ‘Spotify’ to listen to their favourite list of albums or turns on the radio, candidates in the fray pull out all stops to leave a positive impact on the voters till the last moment and seek their support in the polls.
Even while the ruling party boasts of its achievements harping on the welfare schemes introduced by it like no other government did earlier, the BJP-TDP-JSP goes all out with a set of new assurances through its ‘guarantee’ and ‘super six’ to influence the voters and turn their attention to its favour.
In fact, a host of new assurances and revamped promises with added benefits left voters spoilt for choice.
As both the regional parties vie with one another by pointing fingers at each other, bringing the lapses and failures of the other to the fore and highlighting ‘if we come to power, we would do this’, ‘if we are voted to power, the state will witness a sea change’, so on and so forth, to whom would the voters pay heed to and extend their support needs to be seen.
