assembly polls, an official of the Election Commission (EC) said
Sunday.
"Out of 76 cases of paid news which came to light, 42 cases were
confirmed. We had issued notice in 61 such cases," the official

He added that 1,127,000 litres of liquor - worth Rs.7.79 crore -

Karnataka Janata Party (KJP), are contesting in all the
constituencies. One seat is nominated.
