Agra.  There was a wave of change in Mantola, a part of the old city. There has been peace in this area including Jamatkhana, Dholikhar Tamolipada and Tila Ajmeri for the last few years. Those who used to carry stones in their hands are now going to work and children have books in their hands. This change was seen under the BJP government.

The families here are also getting the benefit of various welfare schemes. But, this could not become the basis of votes in the Lok Sabha elections. Neither the beneficiary card worked nor this peace could influence the minds of the voters here. SP gathered more than 500 votes at many booths here. Whereas BJP remained confined to 8, 3, 11. It could touch ten and hundreds only at some booths with mixed population.

Voting was held at four polling booths in Mantola area of ​​Agra reserved Lok Sabha constituency. SP kept gaining momentum with the help of PDA's pedal in more than a dozen Muslim dominated areas here. BSP was able to reach hundreds in some areas with mixed population.
