Kundagol Bypoll  

By-poll is being conducted in Chincholi and Kundagol constituencies of Karnataka. People, including a pregnant woman, stood in long queues in Chincholi to cast their votes. BJP’s candidate from Kundagol visited Doddoppa temple before casting his vote.

Leading to more speculations if Siddaramaiah is really upset with the JDS in Karnataka, he fumbled and forgot while taking the name of chief minister Kumaraswamy’s political secretary Kona Reddy while addressing a gathering in Kundagol

Congress leaders Siddaramaiah and Umashri stooped low in their endeavour to criticise BJP leaders. While one wondered if BJP leaders would wear sarees, the other termed BS Yeddyurappa ‘three-day sultan’.

Apart from a control unit, ballot unit and VVPAT for each polling station, the Election Commission has also arranged for 43 additional control units, 44 ballot units and 157 VVPATs, to prevent any disruption during election.
