Shivarajkumar leaves his wife's fate to god

After a four-hour drive from Shimoga to Bangalore, Gita Shivrajkumar exercised her franchise at a school in Nagawara at 4.30 pm with her husband, actor Shivrajkumar. The couple visited a couple of booths earlier in the day in Shimoga, where she is contesting.
After ensuring that party supporters would take care of things for the rest of the day, she started her journey.“I campaigned for almost 25 days without a break from March 24 after I filed my nomination papers. I am really happy with the response I have got from the people. Since I campaigned with people from the panchayat level, it helped me to meet a lot of people and also know what my father (former CM S Bangarappa) had done for the constituency,” she said.
This unexpected turn in her life, Gita said, made her aware of many issues in the constituency. “I visited 38 panchayats in Thirthahalli assembly segment, but could not do the same for Sorab. But people there told me there was no need for me to visit,” she said, indicating that her father had done his bit for the constituency.
Shivrajkumar, who was with her during most of her campaign, summed up: “We have done our best and it is left for God to decide now.” The couple will be in Bangalore for a few more days before heading back to Shimoga to await the elections results.
