Karnataka bypoll: Voting for Mandya and Bangalore Rural Lok Sabha seats underway
By-polls to Mandya and Bangalore Rural Lok Sabha seats will be held today with 36.37 lakh voters expected to exercise their franchise at the end of a bitterly fought battle between the ruling Congress and JD(S).
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has played for high stakes in the polls that was marked by a no-holds barred attack by leaders of Congress and JD(S), which has the backing of BJP for both the seats.
The bypoll was necessitated by the resignation of N Cheluvarayaswamy (Mandya) and former Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy (Bangalore Rural) who quit after being elected to the Assembly in May.
