SDPI should take back thier nomination as there is a easy chance for BJP to sweep as congress and SDPI votes will divide.. SDPI should re think as they do not have enough supporters

if muslim+dalit+christ unite...no one can break the chain forever...
all the best ilyas sir...
Why though! They will get around 1-2% which might be a deciding factor.
Probably, SDPI should really think about the future of the region, as well as the country, this time.
A Gatbhandan is really needed now!
Good for BJP
