Violence is inevitable in any election and this was not an exception as well. But in this election the violence has certainly decreased given the current situation of our country. Thanks to the security measures taken before hand.

Peace is here to stay!!!
This is good in one way too, since the violence in before polls have been in more than this. But still its bad to hear people having to lose their life during poll or in normal day to day life.
