“The people here have given me a place equal to my father. I will follow his footsteps, always,” says the faithful son Madhu Bangarappa who has multiple interests, including film production. He admits he is now on talking terms with his closest political rival but adds the poll battle “is not between two family members but between two parties”. He also says the Congress has done little for the development of Soraba in the last decade.

Elder brother Kumar Bangarappa on the other hand is quietly confident. He has visited 440 villages in the region seeking votes. At his political rally in Anahatti, he outlined his plans to raise the aspirations of his traditional toddy tapping community and Soraba.
