Indian elections are very colourful and full of theatrics. Leaders are known to woo the voters in funny ways. In the ongoing assembly election campaign in Indian Capital Delhi, Candidates are doing similar things.

Mouth-fresheners in wrappers printed with party symbols and fashion accessories like bands and bangles are now being used by various political parties to woo young voters in the poll-bound national capital.

This is besides a raging demand for masks of political leaders.

"Over the years, trends in advertisement accessories have changed. From traditional flags and banners, it has changed to fresheners and fashion materials," Abdul Gaffar Ansari, a trader at Sadar Bazaar who had been supplying poll publicity material for the past 20 years, says.

The fashion accessories that are in demand from various parties, particularly the BSP, include clips, bands, lockets and
bangles with the party symbols, he says.
