He said that in all those 11 states, it is impossible to repeat those results and we are already seeing it very clearly…BJP strongholds have seen minimum turnout and a significant decline in polling figures.

The media is often requested by the BJP to act as a weapon of mass distraction. I request you, do not feel compelled to do this. Distracting attention from real issues does no one any good.
