Nittali, Chief Executive Officer of Zilla Panchayat, Chikkaballapur emphasised the role of the Constitution in shaping the democratic fabric of India and promoting social justice. The Constitution Awareness Jatha has travelled through 99 gram panchayats and four local government organisations in Manchenahlli, Gauribidanur, Gudibande, Bagepalli and Chelur taluks.

Political economist Parakala Prabhakar has described the exit poll results as “fudged figures”, saying that those would benefit the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) only. “False predictions were given with the sole objective of helping the NDA in rigging during the counting,” alleged Mr. Prabhakar, after releasing a book titled ‘Avineeti Chakravarthi Narendra Modi’ penned by former Minister Vadde Shobanadreeswara Rao, here, on June 2 (Sunday).
