It is good to make India look beautiful but I remember when I used to travel from Amritar to Bombay. Both side of the train we used to see lot of advertising on walls and posters sticking on walls . Which used to look very ugly . but not only that people sitting and passing their waists along the railway lines. I do not know improvement is there on these matters or not. Modi government is only after the opposition leaders. I will fully support him if i can see the BJP party leaders are also investigated properly and their piltical culture is monitered and they are also punished. I can only pray God that it give wisdom to Indians to lead its country with good heart and wisdom.
Kejrival is one of the most fraudulent new age politicians trying to capture ground lost by Congress using any means. His party got hiding in Gujarat where most sensible Indians vote the right party to govern our great country. No-one is above law and it is right to prosecute him in Goa if the posters gave his party unfair advantage
