And make sure that election is not stolen, robbed……GUJARAT CONGRESS is notorious and famous for this kind of activity….. In this next election each VOTE is important and each VOTE will be on sale…… SOMEONE told me that each VOTE will be sold for 50000 Rs. , so good watch must be kept….. JAY HIND….
amm. when congress paid agent said some thing good then be caution..
can this CEC explain why EVM can not hack? or it is hacking proof.. no he will not said about that.
what kind of democratic india has? people can not control any thing.. it is control by ruling party and media only..
I agree with you, db ji. If they are willing to give away rs. 50,000 for a vote, surely they can get their cheap Evm to spit out a rs. 1 paper receipt that will show who I voted for.

Paid news ?? ha ha ha ha … If they do that then all print media papers in Gujarat will starve to death.
-When BJP says something pro-Hindu, it becomes coomunal.
-And when congis and other parties like SP says anything against Hindus or 25% reservation for muzzies, it becomes secular!
-Strange!
does election commission see its duty to barr foreign jesuit controlled newspapers and news channels who act to install a foreign born imposter on throne of India by subterfuge, and collusion by congressy collaborators or not.?
These channels are only to destabilise opposition so an immoral foreign honey trap rules India.
How can Indians tolerate a deshdrohi prime minister who TIMES NEWS says is not a real Primeminister.
Should traitors like him and other congressies not be hung by the neck or in the election by ballot paper?
