in the earlier Lok Sabha elections in 2014 and 2019, the district fared well in terms of polling percentage.
Chief Executive Officer, Zilla Panchayat, Chikkaballapur, G.T. Nittali, urged officials of the district to take up SVEEP (Systematic voters education and electoral programme) vigorously as the code of conduct will come into force any moment with the announcement of elections to the Lok Sabha.
Addressing a preparatory meeting in Chikkaballapur, Mr. Nittali said that in the earlier Lok Sabha elections in 2014 and 2019, the district fared well. This year too, officials should ensure an increase in the percentage of votes by organising innovative programmes, voters awareness programmes, prepare posters, banners and distribute pamphlets across the district, and ensure that a large number of votes are polled this year in the ensuing election. .
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).
