Mr. Harinath defeated Roopa D. Bangera of the BJP by a margin of 16 votes. He is the 29th Mayor of this coastal city. The post of Mayor was reserved for a general candidate.

Representing 14 Marakada ward, Harinath elected to the council for the fifth time, was the chairman of the finance, taxation and appeals standing commitee in the council headed by outgoing Mayor Jacintha Vijay Alfred. While two sets of nomination papers were filed on behalf of Harinath, one set of nomination was filed on behalf of Roopa.

With neither candidate withdrawing their nomination, regional commissioner, Mysuru A M Kunjappa, the election officer who conducted the election, declared Harinath elected. Five corporators - two from JD(S), one each from CPI(M), and SDPI and an independent - remained neutral.

In the election to the post of deputy mayor, Sumithra Kariya of the BJP was elected unopposed. As the post of deputy mayor was reserved for a ST (woman), and Sumithra was the lone candidate from that category in the council, that has 65-members, including 60 elected corporators, and rest members of state legislature and the Lok Sabha, her election was a foregone conclusion. Sumithra represents ward two in the city corporation.

The term of Harinath and his deputy Sumithra is for a period of one year that ends on March 10, 2017. The elections to the members of four standing committees of the civic bodies were conducted later.

Bengaluru, Jun 23: Karnataka Congress leader and Kanakapura MLA DK Shivakumar said on Monday that in the wake of coronavirus pandemic, people of his assembly constituency have taken a unanimous decision of remaining under voluntary lockdown until July 1.

The decision was taken after he headed a meeting at Kanakapura on Sunday, at the office of Kanakapura Municipality.

"Let us consider the situation after July 1, hold a similar meeting, and take the next decision. It has nothing to do with the state government's mandate. It came to the conclusion that this was a decision that we all voluntarily took," said DK Shivakumar.

DK Shivakumar informed that the merchants have agreed to sell groceries, fruits, vegetables, fennel, meat and other food items from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. only. District authorities, DCs, SPs and hospital representatives have decided the timings of clinics and drug stores.

He further said, "In this self-motivated lockdown, unnecessary driving should be avoided. The social gap must be maintained. No one should be oppressed by anyone."

Member of Parliament DK Suresh, Ravi - Ramanagara District Collector Archana, SP Anoop Shetty, and Kanakapura Planning Authority Chairman Jagannath were also present in the meeting.
