Bigg Boss contestant and popular TV personality Katti Karthika provided comic relief in the Dubbak polls. She made big promises, bigger comments and made whirlwind tours of the constituency as a candidate. She was surrounded by a posse of hefty bodyguards and travelled in swank, high-end cars like Skoda, BMW and Range Rovers.
There was so much enthusiasm among the punters that a large number of them hedged their bets on the number of votes she would get. Even in far off places like Bhimavaram in neighbouring AP, several people hedged their bets on whether she would cross 1000 votes. Do you know how many votes she got when the votes were counted? 636... Yes... just 636. This includes 15 postal ballots. Sources say that Katti Kartika was propped up by some powerful business leaders, who hoped she would cut into the anti-TRS votes.
Soon after the result was out, Karthika simply scooted out of Dubbak and stayed in the close confines of her Hyderabad residence. She spent money like water and was always surrounded by a large number of supporters and fans. In the end, even her fans and supporters did not vote for her.
