Shivraj Chauhan is 100 percent correct that bjp will win the election but one thing he forget to say that they are going to win election by forging EVM machines and cheating voters + killing indian democracy and raping indian constitution. BJP has never won any election in fair. Its unfortunate that EC is blindly supporting this wrong doing. It will be better to cancel voting. Why we should spend crores of rupees while EVM is programmed to favor bjp.
