    Disgraceful situation under BJP in 2014 they were shouting 10% commission under the Congress government then and also promised to bring back black money from Switzerland in months and distribute 15 lacs to each family. People believed them and voted for BJP . Over 8years have gone by and what has changed?. Now contractors have to pay 40% commission to ministers, cost of living has gone through the roof, price of gas and fuels has gone through the roof even after importing cut price oil from Russia and refined and sold to west. Last February every day thousands of barrels were sent to New York according to media reports.people use your vote carefully .

    No ED, No EC, No CBI, No NIA and No IT raids for BJP leaders and thier dynasty family members in spite of catching the accused red handed. All these agencies been ordered to raid only innocent opposition without proof but fabricate proof and create media campaigning against clean Sisodia even to the extent of sending him to prison.
