Your support makes all the difference.A video urging Indian voters to "join hands" with David Cameron to let him "take us forward together" has been released by a Conservative-supporting Hindi group.
The lyrics are all in Hindi but a rough translation praise the Tory leader who has "done more than any other Prime Minister since World War II to help build a strong and positive relationship with India and engage actively with the British Indian Community".
The song, produced by the Conservative Friends of India, is titled Neela hai Aasma, meaning 'Blue Sky' in English. But it's not quite as good as the Electric Light Orchestra's original version of Mr. Blue Sky.
It tells Hindi voters to choose Mr Cameron on May 7 because he is a leader who will "keep his commitments" and is "determined to finish the job".
It fails to win the most cringeworthy election video of the campaign however. The Green party has sewn up that award with this parody video of David Cameron, Nick Clegg, Ed Miliband and Nigel Farage.
But both have a long way to go until they are rivalling John Cleese's cheesy party political broadcast for the Liberal Democrats in 1997:
