Barring trivial incidents of alleged violation of election code of conduct, no untoward incident or violence was witnessed in this fiercely fought battle between Congress and JDS. Congress had fielded film actress Ramya whereas JDS has fielded C Puttaraju a hardcore lieutenant of HD Deve Gowda.
In the morning there was a fracas at a booth in Chinakurali village, the native place of the JDS candidate when Puttaraju's wife who went to exercise her franchise attempted to paste vermilion and turmeric powder besides placing flowers on the ballot box. Congress agents at the booth objected this offering of pooja a ritual performed by her in every election and the officials persuaded her not to carry out the pooja of ballot box. But the quarrel erupted once again when his wife slyly sprinkled the vermilion and turmeric powder on the ballot box.
The election officials who arrived on the spot had issued a notice to the presiding officer of the booth for their alleged negligence.
While SM Krishna and Ambarish exercised their franchise at Somanhalli and Doddarasankere, their native villages, JDS candidate CS Puttaraju cast his vote at Chinakurli. Ramya who had no vote registered in Mandya constituency started her constituency trip on Wednesday morning after breakfast at Mysore MP AH Vishwanath's house in KR Nagar town which is part of Mandya Lok Sabha constituency and ended at Maddur after going through booths in Mandya town.
Though started on a dull note in all eight assembly segments, it picked up in the afternoon. People of Gundapura village boycotted the poll, protesting against district administration for its failure to address their drinking water problem. In Bendaravadi village, voters refused to take part in poll process, demanding the arrest of culprits who had desecrated the Ambedkar statute. However, senior officers including DC BN Krishnaiah and SP G Borase pacified them to vote.
There were technical snags in EVMs at Alagud, Honnapur and Belagola villages which were got rectified immediately.
Poor pool turnout is attributed to the farmers' preoccupation with the paddy planting exercise which is in progress in full swing in the district. At many villages, farmers cursed the sitting MP for imposing the elections.
