More money than water in Koratagere

Farmers are having a tough time battling the summer, but money seems to be flowing like water in Koratagere Assembly constituency.

An alleged supporter of KPCC president G Parameshwara was caught by a group of people while distributing money to some families at Tharati village on Tuesday night. The police registered a case and a counter-complaint as well. The JD(S) workers have reportedly been asking voters to “take uncle’s money, but vote for the brother”. “We have become helpless as some leaders have been pumping in huge amounts of money to lure voters,” alleged a JD(S) worker at Puravara village. Regardless age and gender, people mob cars as soon as an individual clad in whites gets down. At Togarighatta village, when journalists stopped to enquire about a destination, a man came running in anticipation of getting some money, only to return disappointed.
