B.R. Patil, Adviser to the Chief Minister and Aland MLA, has stressed the need for radical electoral reforms.
“The election process should be completed in eight days without giving candidates any opportunities to divide people on the lines of religion and caste,” he said in an interaction programme in Shivamogga on Saturday.
The sale of liquor is banned on the day of voting. “Such things do not work. It is meaningless. Those who distribute liquor to woo voters keep the stock in advance,” he said.
