A massive rally, and a show of support that dwarfed anything the opponents could coble together, amassed at the Gaushala Maidan for Bhai Gopi Chand Gehlot helped close the phase of public campaigning. Now, the power is in the hands of the voters.

The sea of INLD green and the Chashma (Spectacles) stretching as far as the eye could see sailed thru the major parts of the city, enthralling the viewers with an awesome show of support. The march started at the Anaaj Mandi and wound its way amidst the beating of drums and dancing by supporters.

Bhai Gopi Chand Gehlot led the march to the Gaushala Maiden where he was joined on the stage by actors Yukta Mukhi and Sanjay Kapoor. To make a point about the chashma, both actors took off their sunglasses and reminded people of the election symbol - chasma yani spectacles.

Distilling the messages from campaign speeches that he has delivered hundreds of times to small and large groups, he reminded the sea of supporters that the campaign was on the ascent. Now it was not a question of victory, but it was a question of whether it would be by a record margin.

Charging his opponent with incompetence he said that someone who did nothing for Gurgaon when he was in power for 15 years, was now trying to to divide people on basis of caste, creed, and greed. "But, the public of Gurgaon is smart," said Bhai Gehlot. "The public knows who has worked."

"The citizens of Gurgaon know that I have been among them throughout the last five years. They know that I have travelled to every nook and corner to listen and solve their problems, and they know that I have stood should-to-shoulder with them. And they know that the development works of the current administration have happened in every sector, every village, and every dhani. I was the representative of all of Gurgaon and not only the people who voted for me - and I have shown that with my deeds."

Bhai Gopi Chand Gehlot addresses the last rally and asks for continued support for the development and progress tasks that were put into motion in the last 5 years. Gurgaon and become NUMBER 1 today, and must stay at Number 1. Incidentally, the name of Bhai Gopi is also NUMBER 1 on the Electronic Voting Machine, and that is what you should press. Chashma yani Spectacles.

"And what is this hava? I have faced these havas in all the previous elections, and against the same opponent since 1991, but the citizens have always supported me in increasingly large numbers. And now that they can compare my 5 years of track record with the opponents 15 years of non-performance and rest assured that their vote was for the right person. And I promise, that the developemnt in the last 5 years is just the begining, and the next 5 years are going to be historical in their impact."

Attracting mammoth crowds, that the state leaders or even national leaders roped in by the opponents could not draw, Bhai closed the elections campaign of crowds that were many times larger than those of his opponents. Bhai Gopi Chand Gehlot demonstrated convincingly that the tide had now turned. The mood of the electorate was now set - and the electorate had now chosen Bhai Gopi Chand Gehlot.

Bhai Gopi has now addressed his last rally and sung his last song, as the public campaign came to an end last evening. Now, the decision is in the hands of the voters. And, all indications are that the voters will return Bhai Gopi to the Vidhan Sabha with a thumping majority.
