Farmer and activist Prasanna N. Gowda backed by various groups led by Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha (KRRS), DSS, AAP etc jumped into the fray for the elections to the Legislative Council from the South Graduates constituency. He filed his nomination papers here on Wednesday..
The candidate resorted to crowd-funding of sorts to remit the security deposit and party workers and activists pitched in with cash to mobilise the funds.
The KRRS leaders approached the public near the Town Hall and raised more than Rs.18,000 as against Rs.10,000 required as security deposit.
