Children also painted their faces with messages to create awareness of voting among the public. Mohammad Amaan, Teacher of the school told ANI, "Elections are going to start from April 19, so our students have made sand art and paintings. Through this we want to give a message in Moradabad. Our painting on flexi is more than 19 meters. Our aim is to create awareness among people about voting."

Manya, a student said, "We have made paintings to make people aware about voting on April 19. People above 18 years of age should vote."

The voting for the Moradabad Lok Sabha seat will be held in the first phase on April 19. In 2014, the BJP clinched a staggering 71 seats in the state. However, in 2019, facing a formidable alliance between the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), the ruling alliance's seat count went down to 62. Despite the BSP securing 10 seats, the SP failed to surpass five. (ANI)
