    This BJPs loss will be despite EVM tampering. Chances could be less as it was single phase election. Without dummy EVMs, current BJP would disappear from the scenes.

    Any party begging for votes using only a purely communal agenda shows it's utter desire to grab power at the cost of the secular constitutional values of the country; should not be encouraged in the larger interests of the common citizens of the country, or else the end result will be unimaginable!!

    Any organisation which indulges in violence, whose office bearers encourage unrest, take law into their hands, whose leadership extends tacit support to trouble makers deserves to be banned or boycotted in any civilised society. Bajrang Bal is not an exception.

    This is the positive side of DEMOCRACY OF OUR BELOVED Country wherein people have not carried away by immotions but voted for a change for themselves and their families and want to live a dignified life.They have trusted the Congress menifesto and specially youths have voted to secure their future. Let us wait for two days and honour people's verdict.

    Banning both PFI and BD will consolidate muslim votes more for congress than jds, esp in old mysore region. Tks to shettar many lingayaths also supported congress...the educated youth in blore and other cities are fed up with hindu-muslim crap, and are more interested in securing good jobs and careers for themselves and feeding their families tks to the high price rise and unemployment orchestrated by bjpeee...only uneducated youth and upper castes would have supported bjp blindly...most women voters also switched over to congress now, as they also fed up of 56"big talks, his u-turns, and silent on his party 40% mega corruption...only dk, udupi and some other blind bhaktha areas will perpetually vote for "castei" party.
