    Election commission is already in his pocket. EVM machines have been rigged. Election in phases and results purposefully delayed so that they can play around with the EVM. This is just lip service to fool the public giving such lofty statements.

    Vote in record numbers surely but not for BJP . Enough is enough. All these years everything is moving in wrong direction. Economy, decease, commodity prices, unemployment, GST......list is big. First sort out the Jarkiholi mess up in Karnataka. Why you have become a silent spectator ?
