A group of youngsters in Ahmedabad has taken to a unique way of campaigning for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Gujarat Assembly elections.

Holding big placards on their backs that advertise the work of the BJP, these youngsters dance in public places to the party's songs.

The songs also promote the party's works.

Yogesh Prajapad, a dancer by profession, came up with the idea for the campaign, which is being run for 20 days now.

Speaking to ANI, Yogesh said, "With this campaign, we tell people about the development done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The songs and the boards advertise various works done by the BJP government."

Another group member Saurabh Sahu informed that public's response to the campaign has been good.
