A scuffle occurred between JD(S) MLA M T Krishnappa's supporters and the people of Chakuvalli village, Turvekere taluk, on Sunday.
The skirmish occurred when Krishnappa's supporters were involved in the 'Mane-manege-Kumaranna' pre-poll campaign, near the Ammasandra Birla Circle.
What sparked off the fracas was, the villagers questioning the MLA's supporters what Krishnappa had done for them in the last four plus years.
Enraged by this poser, JD(S) workers assaulted the villagers.
The Dandinashivara police intervened and restored calm.
Following this incident, Congress and BJP workers staged a dharna at the Birla Circle condemning the assault by the MLA's supporters and JD(S) workers on the villagers.
