A glimpse of the Ram temple in the election campaign material
Apart from caps and sarees, it affects goods like flags, bags, t-shirts bearing Lord Ram’s trident in the markets. This year, the glimpse of Ram temple of Ayodhya is also seen in the material of the election campaign in the markets of various states. BJP workers use the flag with Ram’s name more than the flag with their party symbol. Traders say the impact of GST is also visible on election materials. This time the flags are more expensive than the previous elections.
