Lok Sabha Elections: Karnataka Congress MLA Raju Kage has threatened people at a rally saying that if the party does not get more votes in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections than the electricity supply for the people will be disconnected. The video of the rally went viral on social media platform X.

While campaigning for the grand old party, Kagwad MLA Kage made the remarks when he was addressing people in his constituency in Karnataka's Belagavi district. "I got fewer votes in some places. Forget about Shahpura. I won't talk much about it; if I do, worms will enter my mouth. If we don't get more votes, we will disconnect your electricity. Therefore, that shouldn't happen. Remember, I will stick to what I have said," Kage says in Kannada in the video.
