As the election arrives in any state of India, then, all political parties started campaigning and counted all their good works and oppositions mistakes. We have seen various counteraccusations between the political parties leaders. Today, Karnataka election campaigning is at its last stage and it will be completed at 5 pm. Be it BJP, Congress or other parties, all have shown their best to seek the attention of voters. Taking and giving bribe during the elections is very common since long times. 

Recently, a shocking incident has come to light from Karnataka, where the seizure of 10,000 voter ID cards have been found from an apartment at RR Nagar on Tuesday, said TOI reports. This shows how the fraud people work during the election for showing their support to their favourite party.


Well, we must say that this is how racket works for their own benefits. The racket offers a bribe to the registered voters and also to those whom they think that he/she will go for a vote.

They sold the EPIC (electors photo identity cards ) at various places and the rate of the card also varies from place to place. In Lambani tanda (cluster), north Karnataka, it is just at Rs 100. While in 2,000 for slum dwellers in Bengaluru.

The incident brought to light by a person named Arbaz Khan (changed name) who was also approached by this kind of fraudsters. Arbaz Khan said that ‘he was approached by some BJP supporters who asked him that if he wanted to get Rs 1000 for not voting. He also claimed that ‘some of the other absentee voters in my colony got a pint of whiskey along with cash.’
