Following the recovery of the voter IDs, a political slugfest had broken out between Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), both accusing each other of being involved in the scam.

Taking the decision, the EC countermanded the polling in the constituency

The campaigning in the constituency came to an end on Saturday.

 

The Janata Dal (Secular) has not fielded their candidate from this constituency and is supporting Congress candidate Munirathna.

The counting of votes for the constituency will take place on May 31.
