Tension prevailed at polling station no 3 in Banniganur village in Ragalaparvi Gram Panchayat for some time after Abhishekh Nadagouda, son of Sindhanur Janata Dal(S) MLA Venkatarao Nadagouda, charged the Returning Officer with working in favour of a candidate supported by the Congress and demanded that the officer be replaced immediately. Following the incident, election officers closed the doors of the polling station, suspending voting for 20 minutes. They later allowed voting to resume after officers, including Tahsildar Yallappa Subedar, spoke to Mr. Abhishekh Nadagouda stating that the Returning Officer had been asked to leave the polling station.
