Watch robot distributes pamphlets, raises slogans for BJP in Gujarat

Political parties follow different strategies to gain voters attention and campaigning during elections. But ruling BJP has just made campaigning digital for the ongoing elections in Gujarat. While candidates are literally doing everything to attract voters, the BJP's Nadiad candidate, Pankajbhai Desai, in Kheda district has taken campaigning to a whole new level by a deploying a robot.

The use of digital robot has sparked off a buzz around Desai's election campaign. Voters in the Nadiad constituency are quite excited about the new and innovative campaigning.

Harshil Patel, the head of the BJP's IT cell in Nadiad district and a member of the team promoting digital robots, told ANI, "We are currently promoting a high-tech concept through this robot. Since 2014, when Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister, the 'Digital India' initiative has taken off in earnest and this is our way of doing something new in 'Digital India'."



Elaborating further on this innovative concept, Patel added, "We are using a special technique in this robot developed by Dhruv Pandit. We are handing out pamphlets to voters with the help of the digital robot. Campaign slogans have also been programmed into it, making it capable of conducting a full-fleged and high-tech digital election campaign."

On his unique election campaign, Desai said, "The head of our IT cell, Harsilbhai has created this robot with his team. It is working well and is helping spread our agenda. Details of all the work that I accomplished as a MLA has also been fed into this robot and is being propagated through a speaker installed in it. Our robot has become the talk of the town."

Polling for the Gujarat legislative assembly will be held in two phases on December 1 and 5. The counting of votes will take place along with that of Himachal Pradesh on December 8.

The filing of nomination papers for both phases of the Gujarat polls is over and the candidates, across party lines, have hit the road with folded hands and smiling faces to win the voters' confidence.
