Tumakuru: With Karnataka gram panchayat elections coming near, all the candidates are leaving no unturned to woo the voters with their promises and manifestos. The unique manifesto of Gangamma, who is contesting from Kalkare gram panchayat, has grabbed eyeballs and is making rounds on social media.
Gangamma has made a list of poll promises on what she will do if she wins the election. Gangamma will get a title deed done in Karitimmaraya Swami Temple's name, will make Aralikatte (shrine under peepal tree), make a road from Chikkasaasalaiah house to Doddakarekal and will also build a drainage system from saggayyana thippala to Hombayya land.
What if she loses? Well, if she loses Gangamma will get the ration cards of 25 'ineligible' families cancelled, will get the pensions of 40 families cancelled who provide wrong information to get Maithri manasvi pension, construct a graveyard and will evict families who have encroached upon Kalkere Gramatana without any documents.
She also said that she had got bills for six houses under housing schemes stopped over alleged illegal allotments.

Gangamma's husband Srinivas has stood beside her firmly as a rock and has contested many assembly, taluk, municipal and gram panchayat elections. But he had failed to put up an impressive show. Srinivas has ample amount of information on some government schemes and now he is supporting his wife to participate in the Kalkere Gram Panchayat elections.
The first phase of the polls will be tomorrow and on the second on December 27th. Karnataka State Election Commission notified that 1,17,383 candidates remained in the fray for the first phase of gram panchayat elections.
The Commission has made it clear that no political party or leader will be allowed to campaign for candidates as these are not party-based elections. No candidate can display pictures or symbols of any political party or leader in their publicity material in violation of the election code of conduct.
