Perks of voting in Bengaluru? Free cakes, benne dose and movie tickets

As many as 5,300 voters were treated to free servings of delightful benne dose, Mysore Pak, and refreshing watermelon juice on Wednesday, May 10 in Bengaluru. Additionally, more than 500 individuals enjoyed exclusive discounts on bakery items, while another 200 people benefited from reduced prices on amusement park tickets. These special privileges were granted to those who proudly displayed their inked fingers after participating in the assembly election.

Krishnaraj SP, the owner of Nisarga Grand Hotel, expressed his joy as he fulfilled his promise to serve free khali benne dose, juice, and Mysore pak to voters from 7 am to 6 pm. He said, “I am extremely delighted that I was able to play a small part in encouraging people to come out and vote.” The restaurant welcomed 5,300 voters who availed this generous offer, surpassing the 5,100 voters served during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections when a similar opportunity was provided.
