People from Karnataka who are living abroad are flying into the country this time to perform their voting duty. Those who are in Canada, Turkey, Indonesia, the UAE, and Singapore have come down to the State to cast their votes on Wednesday.
Kishore Chandra Prasad is a 70-year-old doctor who is now in Dubai. This is the third time he will be travelling to Mangaluru to vote. “From the time I was in college until now, I have never missed an election. I had come down to vote during the two elections since 2014,” he said. When asked about his expectations from the new government, he said that he hopes for lesser corruption within the system.
Many such visitors took to social media to announce that they had travelled for election while also declaring their allegiance to leaders and parties. “Bengaluru, Here I come to vote!” tweeted Karthik Ganesh Bhat, who travelled from Vancouver in Canada via Japan.
