    My country needs a healing touch. Power hungry people have taken over my beloved land and destroying it every bit of. I regret my decision to vote to the current people to power in 2014. Had i been wise enough, these vultures wouldn’t have come to power again. I feel betrayed, hurt and more so i feel i beed to apologise for falling into a fake inclusive model shown to us before 2014 election. “Sab ke sath sab ke vikaas” my foot. It should be “ambani, Adani aur RSS ke saat, sab ke vinaash”
