The awaited Lok Sabha elections 2024 has started and the country is witnessing a huge queue in front of polling booths. But apart from it there is a different queue of voters seen with inked fingers. Large numbers of people were standing outside the Nisarga Grand Hotel on Nrupathunga Road to eat the free banne khali dosa, ghee laddu with juice.

The Nisarga Grand Hotel was offering all these to all those citizens who cast their vote in the state Lok Sabha elections today. This was done to motivate the voters and to boost the turnout. People of all ages were seen standing there to get the delicious dishes. Following this trend a restro-pub in Bellandur, Deck of Brews, will offer a free mug of beer and discount offers to the voters on April 27 and 28.
