All confident Wait begins for May 16

‘Our votes will see a three-fold increase’
Satya Pal Jain
BJP candidate
“Cocktail party denge,main to leta nahin,par apko zaroor denge,” said Satya Pal Jain,the BJP candidate,to his supporters. Like Congress,the saffron workers too had declared their leader the winner even before polling was over. “As compared to yesteryears,our votes will see a three-fold increase,” said one of the supporters. They,however,claimed that the party lost nearly 1 lakh votes due to “omission” of names from voter lists. “It’s not only the BJP,but the Congress too has lost many votes due to the confusion over names in the voter lists,” Jain said,trying to pacify his supporters.

‘Congress ko to kaafi peechhe chhod diya’
Harmohan Dhawan
BSP candidate
“Congress ko to kaafi peeche chhod diya. Aapko bhi aisa hi lagta hai na?” BSP’s Harmohan Dhawan was at his optimistic best as the hectic poll day was in its final phase. After casting his vote at the polling booth in Carmel Convent School,Sector 9,the 69-year-old had his day full as he toured the polling booths all over the city. “My priority was to visit my voters in the villages and colonies. I wanted to reach out to them before I could visit others in the city,” he said. While BSP slogans reverberated in the rural belts,the urban sectors presented a different picture. His rivals were more visible there.
