Seven days to third phase of polling. While the heat wave has very much dampened campaign enthusiasm, the political weather too, is hot and intense. Wish it would shed more light too rather than merely kicking up a lot of dust!

Bengaluru South did not see rise in voting. One explanation is that in most homes in this area, there are registered voters who either live abroad/outside the state. Could this explain the low numbers? T.M.Veeraraghav Mohandas Pai

8 days to third phase of polling. First & second phases saw reduced turnout. Bengaluru South did not see rise in voting. One explanation is that in most homes in this area, there are registered voters who either live abroad/outside the state. Could this explain the low numbers?
