RR Nagar Election Result 2018: BS Yeddyurappa says money power played a big role

Reacting to RR Nagar poll results, BJP's Karnataka unit chief B S Yeddyurappa on Thursday said that money power played a big role in the election. The Congress was leading in the Rajarajeshwari Nagar assembly constituency in Bengaluru by a margin of over 92,625 votes, where counting began this morning amid tight security, as per trends.

RR Nagar recorded around 53 percent voter turnout in all 471 polling stations on May 28. Earlier, the constituency was scheduled to go to polls on May 12 with 222 other constituencies of Karnataka but was postponed in light of the alleged fake voter ID scam. Hence, the elections in the constituency were conducted on May 28.
