Give 4 g spectrum first to bsnl mr.modi the failed student in passing his own words to relief package to BSNL! Resign modi and ravishankar prasad immediately failed in there promise
earlier I had a lots of faith in BJP govt but now it seems they are not committed to thier promises in any field. They mocked with BSNL by false promises to revive still not providing 4G in BSNL. ALL BSNL users lost their faith on this incompetent BJP govt.
I love brand name Dolphin more than BSNL Mobile. Is it possible to take a Dolphin branded connection in Kerala?
