Media is giving half report. As this issue relates to bjp, hired media is not giving true figure of explosives + ammunitions seized. There is a report that scores of weapons and bags full of explosives are seized but media is showing only 10 percent of it. Even the inspectors are hiding the figure. However, we common man wants to know the fact. We want to know reason why bjp offices are turned into godown of ammunitiions, explosives, evm machines, ballot papers, voter id cards, adhaar cards etc etc. Why investigating agencies are shut their mouth.
If this news is true then why he not called terrorist.
What type of award central govt will give. For such offenders and to their god fathers a strict punishment must given. Don't spare , for pocessing arms and amuntion remember Sunjay Dut case. All must deported from Maharashtra to Andaman for ever.
Real face of BJP/RSS party
