How IT Cell is turning tide in UP Assembly polls

Uttar Pradesh has already voted in the first phase of the seven-phase polling.

New Delhi: Amid Covid-19, new limitations on public gatherings and motor travel appear to be unavoidable. The pandemic has considerably reduced physical campaigning by political parties in five states going to the polls namely Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Goa and Manipur.

In view of this, political parties have increased their preparations for a digital pivot in order to have a stronger internet presence to be able to campaign more successfully.

"I believe in battling until the last ball is bowled, therefore I have urged my squad to be active until the assembly elections were completed," Amber Swami, the BJP's IT Cell Convenor, said.
