 "EC ropes in archer Deepika Kumari as J'khand's 'state icon'")
Ace archer Deepika Kumari would be the 'state icon' for Jharkhand for coming Lok Sabha elections.
"Deepika Kumari will be the state icon. A video footage and advertisements in print media carrying her message for the forthcoming elections will be initiated in the media," Chief Electoral Officer P K Jajoria said here.
Kumari is the second sportsperson from the state after Team India captain M S Dhoni to be roped in by the Election Commission for its awareness campaign to attract maximum voters to the booth.
The state is going to three-phase elections slated April 10, 17 and 24 for its 14 Lok Sabha seats.
