Elections 2014: 4 Must Download Apps
The election fever has gripped the country and we are seeing a lot of applications also emerging for the same. Some of the apps and website are helping the Indian consumer to make an informed decision. And there are others that help you have some bit of fun. We take a look at some of these apps:
Poll Dance
Platform: Facebook
This is a facebook app, which claims to be the first online exit poll app. It is an online game through which you can make your favorite candidate win elections. To start off, you need to select your candidate and options include Narender Modi, Rahul Gandhi, and Arvind Kejriwal. Next, you have to move your cursor left or right to catch the party symbols. You have to dodge symbols of the other parties as that will deplete your energy. In addition, if you fail to catch the symbol of the party that you are supporting, you loose votes. There is some dhinchak music playing (the likes of ek garam chai ki payali ho) in the background as you set to the task of making your leader win.
Kaun Banega PM
Platform: Android
This app comes from the makers of 'Yeh Hai Bakrapur' and its protagonist is a goat. This goat essays the role of referee in the game. Much like the Poll Dance Game, you have to select the party of your choice and collect symbols, fruits and icons of the respective party in order to gather votes. However, the difference is that you don't only have to guard yourself from the symbols of the opposition parties but also against rotten eggs.
Election tracker 2014

Want to track how much buzz your favorite candidate is garnering on the Facebook? Then this app is for you. You can check the buzz factor for your favorite party as well through this app.
Chunav'14
