Name sake muslim candidates are bribed by anti social and antial religious party only to divide votes of Muslims and make gain to particular communaal party.  Shame on these muslim candidates.   they are stabbing their own people for the sake of position and money.  I think they have no fear of Almighty God.  Money and power is their God.  Shame on you.   You are supporting Iblees.   Why dont you join them and accept their belief.   Dont try to be MIr Qasim and Mir Jafar who betrayer Indians and collaborated swith British.  I request all the Votes not to cast a single vote to these Muslims candidates who are supporting communaal party.  MEP is a branch of BJP and nothing else.   MEP leader has close relation with BJP leaders.   BJP is forecasting her as a Goddess who is distributing cash to poors only to fool them.   She is spreading Fitna of Dajjal and we should be careful about it.

See the stupidity of Muslims candidates....... How many candidates are in field? Just to devide votes.

 

Shame on you......

But Muslim voters should not fall prey to this.... determine who is winning candidates and vote. Don't go for cast policy......
