Changes in the market took place when ecommerce came into force. It has hit the market badly but the shopkeepers feel that as the date of election comes closer, there will be demand for flags and other items offline.
Arup Ghosh, manager of the shop, said, “Trinamul and BJP flags have the most demand at our shop. Congress and CPM flags too are being bought, but not in high demand. Till now, around 3,000 flags, 2,000 caps, 1,000 badges have been sold.”
The managed added that in the Lok Sabha polls the demand for political stuff is lower compared to the Assembly election.
