Every election season ushers in a slew of symbols that range from the mundane to the unusual ones. This time, a large number of candidates have chosen household items and kitchen utensils as they feel these symbols are easy to remember for voters.
Apart from pressure cooker to pot, chapati roller, glass tumbler, kettle, mixie and gas cylinder to matchbox, fruits and vegetables, too, are a popular choice. These include pineapple, grapes, jackfruit, watermelon and ladyfinger.
Independent candidates and aspirants from registered political parties that are not recognised as national or State parties who were unable to register for popular symbols have chosen cot, almirah, sewing machine, helicopter, table, coconut farm, air conditioner, school bag, computer, laptop, diesel pump, petrol pump and the like. Some have opted for a pen nib with seven rays, phone charger, road roller, dish antenna, diamond, doorbell, baby walker, binocular, switchboard, walking stick, CCTV and tubelight.
