Superstition will rule on Tuesday when city goes to the polls tomorrow

Nothing is left to chance on voting day and politicians across parties are pulling out their lucky charms and going well armed for battle.

Tuesday, apparently, is ruled by red and the Congress' Kripashankar Singh and Rajhans Singh will carry something red with them.

Sardar Tara Singh, the BJP candidate from Mulund, will be going to the booth in a red car. "Red is a lucky colour for our family.

All our vehicles are red. Sardarji will also be wearing a yellow thread around his neck from our gurudwara," said Rajneet Singh, his son.
