    As an MP, what Yugal Kishore did in his Parliamentary Constituency? Public want an MP to present a report card every year,

    As an MP, what Yugal Kishore did in his Parliamentary Constituency? Look at his campaign, he is again asking people to vote for Narendra Modi. But people don’t select the Prime Minister, we select our representative from our constituency. People of 543 Parliamentary Constituencies and then elected MP’s come to a consensus and elect a Prime Minister. Yougal Kishore is answerable to us because he represent morethan 15 lakh people of his Constituency. Has he done that? Has he brought in measures from the Centre? Has he raised a voice for Education, Unemployment, Health,Road Connectivity or Border shelling?The answer is big No, because there is no conscience. Yougal Sharma listens to BJP high command ,not even the people who voted for him. Now he has came without a report card. I want an MP to present a report card every year, about what they have done and what they have been unable to do, about what they think of local and state and national issues. An MP is a statesman, has Yougal sharma been that?*
    *If I am vocal against the BJP, it is because they were in power.* *Now the festival of democracy is here, and I am telling people to think and take a call because your vote is not just a piece of paper. It is your stance, your concern for the nation.*
