What Sakhi does not know yet
  • MLAs (about four thousand), and promises made on stages, not in manifestos.
  • Manifestos other than BJP and Congress. Not empty: not read yet.
  • Your exact seat from a pincode: a pincode is a post office, not a constituency.
  • Anything after June 2024: Sansad β†— is final.
