We will not woo voters by distributing liquor or cash: KRS president Ravi Krishna Reddy

Karnataka Rashtra Samithi state president Ravi Krishna Reddy has said candidates of the party will not woo voters either by distributing liquor or cash in elections. Speaking at a press conference in Hassan on May 12, Mr. Reddy said whoever joined his party would have to follow this principle in elections.

“We believe in the principle of people’s participation in politics. We are seeking people’s contribution to run the party and face elections. And, we are impressed by the response from the public. Wherever we go, people appreciate our activities and make monetary contributions for the party,” he said.

He also said KRS candidates would not take loans to spend during elections. “If the party receives an average contribution of ₹15 per person in the state, we would get enough funds to bring change in the state in the 2023 assembly elections,” Mr. Reddy said.
