While some say BJP has a bright chance in winning the election 2017, some people object and they say that BSP has better chance in winning the poll. So, this time it will be direct clash between BJP and BSP.
Conclusion:
At the end, whichever party may win the election, they have to concentrate on the following issues. The quality of basic infrastructures such as Education, Power supply, roadways should be taken care of. In addition to this, corruption which seems to the main reason of poverty of state should come to an end. Let’s hope better government takes over this time and do their best to improve the economy.
