With an election dangling from a string around his neck, independent candidate P. Maheswaran goes around the campaigning the lanes and bylanes in Sanganoor.

He chose to use the harmonium to make it a novel campaign, said Mr. Maheswaran. “This being my first foray into election and politics, I want to do something that will interest the voters and improve my recall value at the time of voting.”

He used a wooden poll used by candy sellers on Tuesday and the harmonium on Wednesday. In the coming days, he would make his campaign more interesting, again only to increase his recall value, Mr. Maheswaran said.
