Jayanagar holds a very special place in the heart of many bengaluru nivasis. Sir MV planned parts of the constituency and it earned the title of the first planned layout in ASIA!
Many of us born and raised in these areas feel a sense of duty towards this legacy.

As a proud Jayanagar voter who has been on the ground for the last 4 months urging people of all party affiliations to vote, it pains me to see what is happening.
The MLA election of @CKRBJP is marred in controversy due to unchallenged hold of bengaluru by known, age old force

Last thread on the issue, after which I shall be on a flight & can’t do much for a few hours. #Jayanagar
Congress party is bringing in the issue of non-gazetted officer. I was asked for a clarification on this by folks in the media (commend them reaching out for diverse views).

But I didn’t have much clarity, until I read through the relevant rules. Request those commenting to do so as well.

There is absolutely no compulsion of ‘Gazetted’ officer to verify a postal ballot. As per
Conduct of Elections Rules, 1961 (Statutory Rules and Order) no such rule.

Addressing some comments that have come up:
1) Yes, BTM and P’Nagar also share a counting booth as Jnr. But there are constituency wise counting pools. The concern raised - WHY not just Ramlinga Reddy but also his son and some cong leaders being in the Jayanagar counting pool.

Given the power RR yields in Jayanagar (he was the MLA once) and even got a corporator to defect in 2018 election from BJP to Cong - his presence in the jnr pool (apparently on cctv) can be VERY worrying.
He should have stuck to BTM pool.

2) On what @Tejasvi_Surya was present - he will have to answer, my understanding was that he was present to counter RR’s undue influence within the Jayanagar counting pool.
3) On this non-gazetted vote issue that congress is tweeting to me. Pls send some rule/law on this.

The contest was between BJP candidate @CKRBJP Ramamurthy (ex-corporator) and INC candidate @Sowmyareddyr (incumbent MLA and daughter of congress leader Ramlinga Reddy).
As the counting of votes progressed, it was apparent that the margin of victory in #Jayanagar would be small.

Sowmya Reddy’s lead of a mere 160 votes was prematurely celebrated as a victory by Congress party. BUT there was no certificate of victory issues by the EC authorities.
What happened internally was very different - a rule in the ECI handbook for counting came into force.

Recent reports indicate that elderly people are being evicted from their homes in alarming numbers. A couple in their 80s seeking assistance visited Jayanagar MLA's office recently.

Many elder people don't report it because of fear of retaliation. Aside from that, they don't want to complain about their children or cast the family in a bad light.
Despite this, many are unaware of a laws that protects senior citizens from abuse and neglect

A meeting with the Karnataka Cooperative Minister Sri @STSomashekarMLA & Dept. of Cooperation has been scheduled on 09-02-2022.
Even today, most depositors of these banks continue to struggle to recover their hard-earned funds, leading to financial distress for the past 2 years.

Nearly 100 people have lost their lives. Many of their family members, as well as depositors, have been meeting me on several occasion.
In the past, I had taken up this issue on a war footing so that senior citizens and co-depositors can live in peace.

@BSYBJP sir,
Here in the video you can see a resident showing us his @NammaBESCOM bill which has suddenly shot up almost 4 times from the usual.
Bills generated by #BESCOM based on the average electricity usage of the customer doesn't seem to be accurate.

@NammaBESCOM officials should immediately clarify what computation has been followed while generating these electricity bills ?!
Action has to be taken immediately to resolve this issue and help our people.

@CMofKarnataka
This is the plight of many residents. In these times when jobs are not there, how does the Govt. expect people to pay such high #BESCOM bills? It is practically impossible for these residents to pay such a high price for electricity without any income.
