From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

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:
