People in Haryana are fed up with BJP, fed up with their lies: Congress leader Pramod Tiwari
"...We will get absolute majority in Jammu-Kashmir too... People in Haryana are fed up with BJP, fed up with their lies... So it can be said with confidence that in Haryana we will get more than a two-thirds majority and in Jammu-Kashmir we will form the government with a simple majority"

Corrupt and looters will lose on Oct 8, says BJP's National General Secretary Tarun Chugh

The way Prime Minister Modi has worked for the poor in the last 10 years, he has built development and trust in Jammu & Kashmir. People are voting for BJP and the results will come on the 8th in which the corrupt and looters will lose..."
