LED-equipped vans act as link between party, people

Amritsar: Though the political rallies and public meetings are restricted due to the outbreak of the third wave of Covid-19, the political parties are adopting alternative modes for the election campaigns.

The Congress party in the Majha belt has hired publicity vans, equipped with LEDs, to propagate its policies.

Goods vehicles have been modified to install the LEDs to play political videos. Such vans are being deployed in rural constituencies such as Fatehgarh Churain.

Generally, it is stationed in a village for two to four hours and plays documentary movies on the development work conducted during the Congress regime, the attitude of BJP and SAD during the farm agitation and poll manifesto. Rural people are showing interest in the movies being displayed on the LEDs.

“After the Covid-19 restriction, the candidates and political leaders are not able to conduct public meetings. These vans are good to share their message. Villagers have been showing interest in these videos as it provides interesting political insights,” said Raju, a resident of Kala Afgana.
