Tanmay Bhat

With the BMC elections just around the corner, comic Tanmay Bhat has a suggestion or two for the civic body to ensure people come out and vote and one incentive to urge the youth to get their finger inked. At his alma mater National College’s annual fest ‘Cutting Chai,’ Bhat, who last voted in 2014, said, “I think our country has not cracked it with the youngsters yet. If the BMC manages to get a black dot on youngsters’ profile pictures on Facebook, the way the LGBT flag and Digital India profile pictures appeared, I think we will be able to solve all problems. I really think the youth will come and vote. It’s a brilliant idea. But, this is my idea, my patent.”
