The posters were titled "Maa Graamaaniki Raavalasinavi – Kaavalasinavi" which means ''needs of our village''.

The issues of drinking water, water for irrigation, playground, an additional building for a government school, post office, veterinary hospital, drainage system, LED bulbs, community hall, bus stand were the basic issues that were highlighted in the posters.

''During the elections, several leaders from various political parties will visit our village. However, they will only be allowed to conduct rallies and other campaigning programs within our village if they ensure that our demands will be solved with immediate effect,'' said a local.
