The last woman candidate to contest from the constituency was Lokeshwari Vinayachandra from the Janata Dal (Secular) in 1999. Of total 7,19,583 votes polled then, she had bagged 20,980.

Addressing presspersons on Friday, Sasikanth Senthil S., Election Officer and Deputy Commissioner, said that that 17,24,566 voters had registered in the constituency as on March 26.

He said that the voters can produce Electoral Photo Identity Cards (EPIC) and 11 other documents specified by the Election Commission.

Some of the specified documents included Aadhar card, passport, driving licence, PAN card, MNREGA job card, bank/post office pass books having photographs, IDs from the government and public sector firms.

I am 100 percent not sure that bjp will try to hack tne AVMs as these machines are preplanned and updated by bjp trained IT specialities and they can do any change with remote control.   This is the way how bjp won last election and they will definately practice same thing again.   BJP will do anything to come to power.  They have o logic, no respect in indian constitution, humanity etc.    God bless indian constitution.

A good and valuable informations by our District Commissioner.More over now the concern is to maintain law and order by our districts dept. Administration must give order and instruction to each and every dept staff. Specially to our Police Force not to play any politics with their duty and responsibilities. Found guilty immedI ate action with out any delay. During election season masteroids will try to pull each other or they try to distrput public's normal life.Prior Dept must give a strict warning to such person. Totally we all require a peace full life.

 

For storiginal Ballot Box, dept must deploy different police forces from Reserve Police,CISFS ;Rapid force at strong room must guard by diiferent squads and surrounding  areas must completely seized from Internet systems.So no one will play any sort of hacking or chance to blame.

Jai Hind Jai Tulunaad

Bengaluru, Feb 13: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Thursday said the government had initiated measures to implement the Sarojini Mahishi report as the 12-hour Karnataka bandh call by several pro-Kannada organisations under the banner of Karnataka Sanghatanegala Okkoota began on Thursday.

“Government always stood for Kannada and Kannadigas and initiated measures to implement the Sarojini Mahishi report,” Yediyurappa said. Meanwhile, in Bengaluru, Ola, Uber and auto services were affected even though buses were plying as usual. Security has also been beefed up in Bengaluru after stones were pelted at a Tirupati-Mangaluru bus in Farangipet, though no one was injured.

Bangalore University has postponed all postgraduate (PG) exams scheduled for today. A pro-Kannada activist, Praveen Shetty, was kept under house arrest and police have detained a few people, including those involved in Cauvery protests and other bandh cases.

The organisations are demanding the implementation of a report by former union minister Sarojini Mahishi that recommends a certain percentage of jobs to Kannadigas in public sector undertakings, private companies, and multinational companies. The report was submitted in 1984 but is yet to be implemented.
