The Congress candidate for Mysuru Lok Sabha elections M. Lakshman called on heads of various religions as part of the ongoing election campaign, here on Monday.
His nearest rival Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar of the BJP too has met religious leaders and heads of different mutts in recent days all of which are in continuation of the customary practice of the candidates of different political parties in the fray calling on heads of various faiths and creed.
But in a high-stakes political battle where every community and ever vote counts the courtesy and propriety stops at that and the campaign begins to get shrill with each passing day as it hits the road.
