    Flying squad has confiscated two buses bearing Karnataka registration number plates for bringing people with the intention of illegal casting of votes. More than hundred people were in both the buses. We the public want to know which political party has bribed or hired these people who were brought with intention of false voting. These people should be given jail taste for a couple of weeks at least and ban the political party who did this immoral and anti national thing. Such parties should not be allowed to contest and their candidate should be declared illegal. I can smell which party can do this type of immoral and unconstitutional things and especially in northers party of kerala. |This party is very much frustrated as it is not getting a single seat in the election. They want to get seat by any crook.
