Wishing the best to @Akali_Dal_ candidates! While the aim is to win, I am proud of our people who strived to keep democracy alive even as Cong resorted to every unfair mean to win. Each SAD candidate who fought this repressive govt is already a winner. Kudos to you all!#MCPollspic.twitter.com/uexLjd2tvZ
