Mysore/Mysuru: Leader of Opposition in Legislative Assembly Siddharamaiah flashed a victory sign during his visit to the counting centre at Maharani’s Women’s Commerce and Management College at Paduvarahalli (Vinayakanagar) in the city this morning.

 Even as the counting of votes was underway and the early trends were in favour of the party, Siddharamaiah, the Congress candidate in Varuna Assembly Constituency in the district, arrived at the counting centre. He left the centre after a while but refused to speak to media.

V. Somanna, the BJP candidate against Siddharamaiah in Varuna, also visited the venue of counting and returned after taking stock of the process.
