“The state election authorities have been conducting elections in a free and fair manner, but the people of Bengaluru do not vote. When people do not vote, morally, they cannot ask for facilities. We do not get many chances to vote, so I wanted to create awareness among customers who come to my food joint. I appeal to people not to get involved in gift politics. They are spending our money on elections. Every election, I create awareness among people. I ask everyone to vote and not sell their votes”, said Ramachandra, owner of Kannada Tindi hotel.
