However, it was a baby shower ceremony with a difference. Guests had arrived to take part in the ceremony and bless the pregnant woman. But this was a distinct baby shower ceremony compared to other such ceremonies as it was marked by a voter awareness programme also.

The idea of coinciding a voter awareness programme with the ceremony was that of young journalist and  theatre artiste Narendra Kerekadu who thought of implementing it  in his wife Usha’s Baby Shower function. The programme was inaugurated by Rajani Chandrashekhar, Director of Sri Chandrashekhar swamiji Ashram.

In her address she said every voter must exercise his franchise for the success  of a democratic set up.

 Narendra Kerekadu who also spoke said  every voter should remember the fact that voting is his  right and cast his vote without getting lured by any political party.
