As a part of Systematic Voter Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) campaign to promote the importance of 100 percent voting, a huge Rangoli is displayed in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad center to inspire people to exercise their franchise in the Lok Sabha vote.
The rangoli measuring 60×12 feet displayed awareness messages on voting at a well-known center in Ahmedabad.
The nodal officer Dr Yogesh Parekh, who has been conducting various programs for voter awareness, said that it takes 18 hours to make the rangoli.
“Under the SVEEP activity, various programs are conducted for 1.5 months as part of voting awareness and how we can inspire people to maximize voting. At Alpha One Mall, we have made a 60 x 12 feet rangoli that can be considered as the biggest rangoli and it took 18 hours to reach it,” said Parekh.
ANI shared a video of the massive artwork on X:
He also said that 350 kg of colors are used in making the rangoli, and the main objective is to make Ahmedabad the most polled region and inspire citizens to cast their vote, which can push the voting percentage.
“This is just like a festival where we decorate our region, and through this rangoli, our message to the public is to come together with the family to cast their votes, and Ahmedabad’s voting percentage should take the lead, ” he added.
The themes of the rangoli are the maps of India and Gujarat.
Maya Limbola, a visitor, said, “We have the voting rights given by our Constitution and as a woman, I want to encourage other women and young people to give your 10 minutes for the nation.”
Another citizen, Vikas Pal, praised the efforts made by the rangoli to raise awareness and said, “It is a good initiative and people should be inspired to cast their vote.”
The Lok Sabha Elections in the state of Gujarat are usually organized in a single phase, and the 2024 Lok Sabha election will be no different, as the state will contest all its seats in a single phase, ie phase 3 on May. 7.
