On the major roundabouts and happening places of Jalandhar, iconic characters like Shaktiman, Ghajini, Mogembo and others can be seen encouraging the voters to cast their votes and become a part of democratic set up. The graffitis with famous dialogues and punch lines are adding more flavour to this campaign.
