Nagpur, Apr 12 : A man in Nagpur has crafted a plane-fitted and remote-controlled election symbols for the political parties to campaign during the impending general elections.
Rajesh Joshi, the inventor of flying symbol said: "For years, we have been flying these remote controlled planes. We also call them 3D planes. I have tried to build them on the same pattern. I have 25 years of experience and I have tried to use this experience here to create it, like Congress and BJP symbol. This has not been made in India before."
These flying symbols are made manually. First, thermocoal is cut, shaped and coloured into a political party's symbol. Then, they are fitted with aircraft tools and then flown with the help of remote control device.
"People get attracted with it. Till now dupatta, logo, banners and hoardings have been used and seen by people. But, lakhs of people can view it in one minute and crores of view it in one hour. Our campaigns will be in accordance with it. And nobody has used it till now," said Ashok Pathak, a BJP supporter.
These flying symbols can fly for about 10 to 15 minutes at a stretch. It is run on batteries and almost noiseless.
More and more parties are expected to make a beeline for the unique tool.
