London mayoral poll candidate |
The Conservative party candidate for the high-profile London mayoral polls is using leaflets with Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s image to woo Indian-origin voters against his veteran Labour party rival who is the son of Pakistani immigrants. Zac Goldsmith, an Oxford-educated millionaire, is the Conservative party candidate for the race for the polls on May 5 to replace Boris Johnson when his term comes to end.He is up against Labour`s Sadiq Khan, a politician who proudly proclaims his working class roots as the son of a Pakistani bus driver.In an effort to grab an edge over Khan, Goldsmith`s team has been using a leaflet with an image of him shaking hands with the Indian prime minister alongside British counterpart David Cameron during Modi`s visit to the UK last November.The message reads: "Standing up for the British Indian community." The Goldsmith team also issued tailored letters for London`s Tamil-origin population which tend to have expensive jewellery in their homes, warning that Khan is planning a "wealth tax on family jewellery."The letter reads: The first job of the Mayor of London is to protect Londoners.
