Observers are saying 2019 would be the most virulently fought elections. It also seems the election fever has left very few untouched. A "Vote-Vote" game is gaining popularity among kids in Kolkata, we are told. As part of the game groups of children divide themselves into "parties" and a "prime minister" is chosen by raising hands. Everyone listens to the "PM" once he/she is chosen. The "PM's" authority spans the games that a group would play to the songs that members have to sing to keep the others enthralled.

Hand in glove
