That David Cameron has a task at hand in the coming elections in the United Kingdom seems to be clear from the desperate measures being adopted for his campaign. At least going by what was posted on April 24 on YouTube by an outfit calling itself The Conservative Friends of India. This Hindi song, "especially composed for the General Election 2015" is pitched as "a first in British election history".
The song called 'Neela hai Aasma' (Blue Sky) has been written, composed and produced by Pandit Dinesh, who has previously worked with the troubled pop star Boy George. The vocals by Navin Kundra and Rubayyatt Jahan while the instrumental flute portion has been done by Baqir Abbas. The song comes complete with a chorus for the "David Cameron" chorus.
Here are the lyrics, translated into English:
The Conservative Friends of India maintains that the song "encourages 1.6 million British Indians to support David Cameron and let him finish the job of turning around the British economy."

Here are the lyrics, translated into English:
The sky is blue and glorious
This is the colour of Britain’s pride
Let’s join together with this blue colour
Let’s join hands with David Cameron
Who will take us forward together
Your dreams will be fulfilled
He’ll keep his commitments
The job which David has started
He’s determined to finish
Stay with him
Trust him
And give him your full support
