Useless & tainted parties like CON, SP & BSP are the reasons for all the problems in India today. The heisted, looted, plundered, pilfered, created all primitive caste problems, instead of getting rid of all castes & unifying all people, as all refined, civilized & most successful modern nations like Sweden, Finland, Denmark & Norway did centuries ago. CON, SP & BSP people are thus completely useless, totally corrupt, 6th rate, well below cave, cattle & gutter class politicos, many think, due to it. It is high time the citizens unceremoniously dumped them in the dustbins of history. Indians have had enough of all their nonsense. They & their bloody vote bank politics! OMG! How primitive may some get even in 2017?Read allPost comment
