Karnataka Assembly polls 2018: Muslim voters turn out in large numbers

Bengaluru: In constituencies where the Muslims population is high, like Chamrajpet, Shivajinagar and Pulikeshi Nagar, voters were seen coming out in large numbers to cast their votes. At polling booths under the Chamrajpet constituency, majority of Muslim voters said they were against the incumbent MLA Zameer Ahmed Khan. They complained that they have not seen any major development works in the area and said they voted for another Muslim candidate, Altaf Khan, fielded by the JD(S). Some even said they chose the NOTA option.

On the other hand at Shivajinagar constituency, most of the voters favoured the sitting Congress MLA, Roshan Baig, saying they were happy with the development works being done and promised to be taken up in the future too.
