Construction affected by Lok Sabha Polls
Construction in the city has slowed down due to workers shortages as they have gone back to their native places to cast their votes. Time-bound projects will be affected the most, as a result. Bangalore construction industry is dependent upon labourers from Karnataka, Orissa, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. A lot of construction labourers participate in local electioneering in their native places and that fetches them good money.
The agents, who bring the construction workers to Bangalore, play an important role during elections. The political parties contact these agents to get the voters back to their places to cast their votes. Construction of every type has been affected, thought small construction players are the worst hit.
