Even people like you make them wait.

otherwise no use.

Already press has

forgotten me,

it'll be very difficult

if people too forget me.

Don't get dejected sir.

Let's buy the votes

at Rs. 1 000 a vote,

still if we can't make it,

let's supply liquor freely.

They will doze off having your drinks

and not come to vote for you.

That will be better, we can cast

bogus votes ourselves.

If we as opposition can

rig the polls,

think about what he can do

with the govt. under his control?

shall we bump him off?

His wife will become CM

in the sympathy wave.

What should we do then?

Kill me!

If a boy comes home after

failing the tenth class,

everyone at home will scold him.

After seeing the result

if he attempts suicide,

if public bring home

saving his life,

everyone at home

will console him.

In the first case, people will be

angry on him for failing.

In the second case,

there will be sympathy for

surviving the suicide attempt.

I want that.

an attempt on my life.

But I must survive it.

sleeping on the stretcher.

I'll cast my vote going

in a wheelchair.

Excellent! Wheelchair to CM's chair!

It will cost you heavily sir.

Why?

There are people to kill

for Rs. 1 1 16 also,

they will come from Bihar

But if you want to survive the attack,

we need professionals.

Don't worry about money,

get the best professional
