Bengal is famous for its sweets and Bengalis are famous for
their passion for politics. So what can be better than the two coming together
in this election season!
Well, a Kolkata-based sweet shop has done exactly that with its
new creation - the Nirvachani Sandesh.
Famous Kolkata confectioners Balaram Mullick and Radharaman
Mullick has come up with a series of mouth watering sandesh with a touch of
politics.
Named Nirvachani Sandesh, it's a series of sweets designed for
these elections and has symbols of all the mainstream political parties etched
on them.
So there's one for Trinamool Congress with its flower imprint,
one with the CPI-M's hammer and sickle, a lotus-shaped one for the BJP and one
with the hand imprint for the Congress.
"Bengalis cannot do without sweets. Thus we have to keep
innovating every time. So for this festival of votes, we thought of doing the
party symbols. We have named them as NaMo, RaGa and Didi sweets," says
proprietor Sudip Mullick.
"People are buying these sweets to distribute among party
workers and party workers are buying them to impress their leaders. Indian
elections are like a festival and no festival is complete without sweets,"
"It's a nice thing to combine sweets and politics,"
said Paromita Chakraborty, who was surprised when she visited the shop.
Another customer Md Shaffruddin Ali said: "Some people
disregard politics but now with these sweets, they too shall have a taste of
politics."
