The senior leader also stated that the letter will be distributed by two workers per booth.
"As this is a time when social distancing is the mantra to prevent COVID-19 we have decided that only two workers per booth will distribute the letter," said Yadav.

On questions of the mode of campaigning in poll-bound states like Bihar and Madhya Pradesh, Yadav said the party will evolve with time and will use technology.
"During 1950-70 we saw the role of pamphlets and posters in campaigning which changed to the radio till the 90s. During the 90s we saw a revolution in campaigning brought by the TV. Today we saw how WhatsApp and Facebook were used. We will use a new technique in elections," added Yadav.
