Bengaluru, May 12 (IANS): In a bid to encourage first-time voters, an eatery here was giving away free dosas to those had voted in the Karnataka assembly election on Saturday.

The eatery at Nrupathunga Road here was also giving free coffee to other voters after seeing the ink-mark on their fingers and their voters card.

Several of the first-time voters, aged 18-19, who comprise 15.42 lakh of Karnataka's 5.06 crore electorate, took selfies with ink mark on their index finger after coming out of the polling booths.

A few hospital patients here were seen reaching the voting booths in ambulances to cast their vote, while several senior citizens across the state braved the summer heat to stand in the queues in order to vote.

Also, three to-be brides in Belagavi, Madikeri and Dharwad districts headed down to the polling stations before going to their weddings.

Meanwhile, hundreds of villagers in Kalaburagi, 630 km north of Bengaluru, have boycotted the polls protesting the lack of basic facilities in the area.

    Oh,how fine to get a cup of coffee and a dosa after voting.Its really a good action to promote voters.Here we dont get even a glas of water in polling booth.still people come to vote to show their patriotism.For patients from hospital is not a good idea to shift.for that purpose ,next time they can vote per post ,or email when possibility has.Whereas in India ,is the problem of whether it is kept secret.

    @Langoo,Belman/USA.There arent so many indian food maker like Golibhaje maker , restaurants.Since these days vagana food is total in,and even vegetarian,many Vegan cooks try to make indian foods and bring on the market,like chattambade,golibaje too.Previously noone was interested in Dhals.cocs oil,reis,etc.but now dal and peas are verymuch used,as ersatz to nonveg protein.Lot of people are become vegtarians.But we get mangalorean Buns in deepfridge.isnt it nice?
