Voting at Karnataka Legislative assembly elections 2023 May 10

All three of us went for voting today for the Karnataka legislative assembly elections today 10 May 2023 at Bethany school. Koramangala Bangalore. This is our first voting in Bangalore as we got voters Identity card only two years back. 

Not great rush as three counters were open parallel. Anila was in room 88 while Chinnu and myself were in room 89.

Before entering the booth we checked our names with the candidate teams outside the polling station. 

I am reminded of my election duty as Presiding officer in Goa, both Parliament and Goa Legislative assembly in Goa, at least 4 and 5 times respectively. It was very interesting and responsible then from 1990 to 2006 time period. I was young too.

Great feeling today of having participated in the Indian democratic process. I am only worried whether funds from Modi's very secretive PM Cares Fund where even govt departments  (my tax money..) and private organisations fund the party coffers, will be used to topple opposition governments. It is clear how the party secured power in majority of states by buying MLAs through the above secretive fund.

It is a big shame on the party  if even this time they have to resort to underhand dealings and engage in corruption to uy off MLAs to grab power in Karnataka.
