The biggest irony of this election. One honest person (Kejriwal) having personal declared asset of total Rs 2.14 crore has throughout the campaign blamed another person (Modi) having personal asset of Rs. 1.5 crore as corrupt.

Is this your understanding of issues? Even the current PM, Kejriwal and many many more leaders are honest. But we cant bracket them in the same category. Its about tolerating corruption and the type of system do these people stand for. Like I said, Modi would not allow Lokayukt do investigate his Govt. Hence he weakens the law. BJP wont ever raise the issue of transparency in party funding, has 75-80% unaccounted funds which are declared as 'white money' , and god only knows how much black money. One can only guess by how they are spending on TV, print media, rallies and else where. Its almost an election for survival for Ambani's empire.
He did not have a lokayukt in Guj for 8 years. Weakened the law such that the lokayukt has to take CM's permission to do the investigation. Flies in Ambani, Adani's jets, gives them massive favors in land deals. Uses thousands of crore of alleged Ambani money for campaign. Keeps convicted corrupt people like Bokharia(sentenced for 3 yrs) in cabinet. Oil minister is Ambani's son in law. Pathetic HDI(includes health,education etc) and Poverty numbers after 12 yrs of rule. BJP obviously doesnt even want transparent funding for political parties which is vital for tackling corruption. Is Against LGBT human rights. Thrives on religious polarization. Creates riots, rewards rioters.
Yes- 'Irony' emanating from the bhakts is truly lost on me.

IndiaVsStupidity ‏@IndVsStupidity About 44 lakh people voted in this election in Mumbai. About 47 lakh votes were sent by SMS by Mumbaikars to elect the winner of Bigg Boss 7 sh!t

mumbai and bangalore are immigrant rich cities that also have mobile populations moving in and out of the city. They should release relevant stats like, how many people in the voting rolls are still in the country, city, etc before slamming them.

people need to calm down about mumbai. There has been 35% polling till 3pm and I expect the final figure to cross 50% . There are long lines reported at polling booths. By the time these people are processed etc it will be a healthy turnout by Mumbai's standards. Which is a healthy rise on what happened in 2009. which was about 43.5%.

5:00 pm: No BJP candidate, fine we'll settle for Shiv Sena, say south Mumbai voters While most of Mumbai saw a typically low turn out on voting day, there was a steady stream of sedans and SUVs pulling up to the entrance of the polling booth at the Cathedral and John Connon Infant School on Malabar Hill. A policeman who had been on duty at the booth since yesterday estimated the turnout to be around 50 percent up until 3 pm. “A lot of Parsees live in this area and they are very conscientious when it comes to voting”, he told Firstpost's Tariq Engineer. Even though there is no BJP candidate on the ballot in Mumbai South, most people Firstpost spoke to said they voted for the BJP. When pressed, they said a vote for the Shiv Sena candidate, Arvind Sawant, was effectively a vote for the BJP because the two were election partners. “Change is necessary” said a group of three women in their early twenties. When asked who represented change, the reply was simple: “Narendra Modi”. “We have seen his enthusiasm and his spirit to do something for the country,” one of them explained. “We have seen what he has done for Gujarat.” For most of the voters, the local candidate did not matter. It was more important to look at the bigger picture and elect a stable and strong government at the centre that would tackle the twin issues of corruption and economic development. “Everything comes down to corruption, Ashwin (named changed) said. “If corruption goes, then the economy will improve.” Dressed in a t-shirt and jeans, Ashwin and his two friend wanted a government that would improve infrastructure in the country and bring down inflation. Even when local issues were a factor, the scale was tilted against the Congress. “Did not give Congress my vote because of rising prices that is making everything expensive," said a young Muslim man with his wife, who was in a full burkha. “We have no confidence in Congress.” http://www.firstpost.com/lok-sabha-election-2014/news/live-mumbai-goes-missing-again-turnout-around-15-percent-so-far-1493843.html?utm_source=fp_hp_widget

Early indications are that Samajwadi and AAP have split the Congress-NCP muslim vote bank. Marathi vote bank has swung towards the sena-bjp from MNS. Degree to which is hard to tell. Gujarati vote bank has swung towards the bjp heavily 100% confirmed. College youth split between BJP and AAP. SC/ST vote and north Indian vote holding firm for the congress-ncp. 100% confirmed. RPI has not made an impact for the sena-bjp combine

By booth card do you mean the voter ID? If yes, then what happens to the Booth card if i get one today and move out of the country tomorrow?I will still have one right? And how many immigrants who get voter ids just for identification care to vote?
