Assembly elections are set to take place in four states and one union territory over April and May this year.

While all four states – Assam, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Kerala – and the union territory Puducherry are gearing up for the upcoming polls, parties in Bengal and Kerala have taken to the streets – the walls, to be more specific – to make their presence felt. It’s not high-end street art, but it’s worth a look.

Here’s a quick tour.
