Tushar Gandhi, great grandson of Mahatma Gandhi is currently in New York and the high decibel election, exit polls and tumult is resonating loud and clear in the Big Apple too. Gandhi said, "Exit polls, results, controversies and mud-slinging, Bapuji would not have cared for all this."

Gandhi has trenchant words for the way his great grandfather has been dragged into the elections. Bapu's shadow fell long over the bitter days, "which saw hate and division like we have never seen before," said Gandhi. The Mumbai native believes, "the real war during the election phase was being fought on social media. The verbal violence was unreal and poison was coursing through venal cyber attacks."
