Participating in the Legislative Assembly elections in Karnataka may have been the last thing on the minds of the Hakki Pikki tribals from different parts of Karnataka who were stranded in war-torn Sudan.
Back in their village of Pakshirajapura in Hunsur taluk near here days after their evacuation from the conflict zone in Sudan under Operation Kaveri, the Hakki Pikki tribals were preparing to cast their votes in the local polling booth on Wednesday morning.
