 Rediff On The NeT: Constituency/Coorg   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
The last-minute withdrawal of the call for a poll boycott in Virajpet, one of three assembly segments in Kodagu, may have temporarily cured the state government's headache, but Karnataka's richest district is still seething and simmering at the treatment it is getting.
The boycott call had been issued in Virajpet -- one of three assembly segments in the home of coffee, which forms part of the Mangalore Lok Sabha constituency -- to seek the dereservation of the scheduled tribe constituency and to demand a separate Lok Sabha constituency for Kodagu.
Mathanda C Monappa, president of the Akhila Kodava Samaj, said the boycott call had drawn the state government's attention, and it was now left to voters in Virajpet to send their message by voting in the election or by staying away from polling booths.
