Sambhal sako toh sambhalo nahi toh ghar pe baitho jo kar rahe ho karo (But given the state of our city in the last few days, the hope is that things will improve. Those who want to come, please do. It's your country, your city, your responsibility. Take care of it or else do whatever you are busy doing at home).” ‘Andar officials zyada hain, public kam hain’He went on to point the empty street behind him at the polling centre and said, “Ye jo mujhe dikh raha hain yaha pe public ka naam-o-nishaan nahi hain.

Agar hum apna desh nahi samhalenge uski zimmedari nahi uthayenge toh jo ho raha hain woh hota rahega (There is no trace of public here from what I can see. There are more officials inside, it's so shameful. Every Indian should feel pain seeing this. If we don't take care of our country, if we don't take responsibility for it, then what's happening will continue to happen).”According to the State Election Commission, a total of 3.48 crore voters are eligible to cast their ballots to decide the fate of 15,908 candidates contesting 2,869 seats across 893 wards in 29 municipal corporations.
