Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his wife cast their votes at the Dispur Government Higher Secondary School polling booth in Guwahati constituency here on Thursday, and said the BJP wave was a creation of the media.

"Congress is not losing ground. Everything will be clear once the results are out. The Modi wave is a creation of the media. I do not think that the country as a whole has witnessed any such wave," said Singh.
