The first phase of Gujarat Polls is happening today in 89 of its 182 constituencies. After some bitter campaign from both the parties, Congress and BJP for the past few days, Indian PM Modi has dominated for the major part. Despite the Ockhi cyclone and other barricades, he completed his campaign on a high note. The results will be announced on December 18, 2018.

गुजरात में 22 सालों से भाजपा की सरकार है।

मैं केवल इतना पूछूंगा-
क्या कारण है इस बार प्रधानमंत्री जी के भाषणों में ‘विकास’ गुम है?
मैंने गुजरात के रिपोर्ट कार्ड से 10 सवाल पूछे, उनका भी जवाब नहीं।
पहले चरण का प्रचार ख़त्म होने तक घोषणा पत्र नहीं।

तो क्या अब ‘भाषण ही शासन’ है?
