Mukhtar Says:Congress would have easily won Gujarat elections if RSS from all over India didn't campaign it. There was a fear among voters. Also, EVM cannot be trusted. The tract record of BJP in influencing government machinery including EC was also a factor. There is no doubt in my mind, the end of BJP is not very far. The only reason BJP is winning is due to enormous money that is being pumped, divisive policy, creating hatred among various communities, rigging, influence of RSS on voters. There is no more democracy in the country.
