Congress candidate Muniratna leading by way of over 18000 from Rajarajeshwari Nagar meeting constituency after fourth spherical of counting
About 54 in step with cent out of the 4.71 lakh citizens within the constituency had exercised their franchise on May 28.
While meeting elections around the state have been held on May 12, polling in Rajarajeshwari Nagar was once performed on May 28, because the Election Commission had deferred polling there following the voter ID controversy and quite a lot of other irregularities.
A big row erupted over electoral malpractices and seizure of nearly 10,000 voter ID cards from an apartment within the constituency, forward of May 12 elections.
Fourteen applicants have been within the fray in Rajarajeshwari Nagar polls, including incumbent MLA within the dissolved meeting, Muniratna.
While BJP has fielded Tulsi Muniraju Gowda, JD(S) candidate is G H Ramachandra, who had joined the party forward of polls, quitting BJP.
Muniratna is without doubt one of the accused within the case associated with voter ID cards that have been present in an apartment.
Police has registered a case of election related malpractices under relevant sections of the IPC but even so offences under the People's Representation Act against him and others.
Rajarajeshwari Nagar was the first constituency to move for polls after Congress-JD(S) coalition executive came to power within the state.
In this election, both parties fought against every other as they failed to reach consensus regarding supporting one coalition candidate.
