Karnataka elections: Political parties go an extra mile to woo migrant voters with special meetings and campaigns

Not just politicians speaking in multiple languages, but political parties are taking the extra step this time to woo migrant voters with special programmes in different languages, roping in leaders from other States and even forming special teams and cells.

From IT professionals to traders to even construction workers, parties are reaching out to these voters in their own languages. 

From luncheon meetings in restaurants to roadshows, different classes of people are being targeted through these campaigns. The Congress has brought in Sanjay Nirupam, former MP, to head these meetings. Mr. Nirupam said that he was also personally contacted by some traders and techie groups to come and address the migrant workers.
