I am speaking from Ennolle Kuppali. The entire village is being developed, but they are not doing it in front of our house. When asked why it's not being done, they say it hasn't been sanctioned here. Mr. Darshan Putani, please come for the groundbreaking ceremony.
— Meenaa Shankar · Ennehole Koppalu, Mandya, Karnataka
We will not go for any of this. Are there good facilities in your village's government offices? If there is no hospital available, where will they go now?
— Likith Dip · Hullenahalli, Mandya, Karnataka
We say we won't give anything to those who say no. So they say they can't give everything. But even then, within our Panchayat limits or within our local Melkote area, what should happen is that...
— Manjunatha G B · Sunkatonnuru, Mandya, Karnataka
Whom should I ask? To no one. Now, if we say we want to make a village a smart village, basic amenities are needed. How can we get basic amenities, sir? Those basic...
— Bhargvi · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka
We have come from Vasukkannambadi. We have a government encroachment. There is a population of 2000, but we don't have a playground, madam. Then, there is no playground for the school either, madam. Uh, what about that encroachment?
— Bhargvi
Sir, in our Melukote assembly constituency, in the Gram Panchayat ward and Taluk Panchayat ward, officials are not responding properly to farmers. Please rectify it properly.
— Pramodh k s
Now, we have some of our lands in the T.H. Sidra area. Okay, we have a significant road problem for our land there. This is because, from there, we have to carry things for a minimum distance. Even if we grow any crop, there's no proper road now, nothing at all.
— Likith Dip · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka
There is no road system in our area. The drain construction is half-finished. We raise cows that eat 'boosa' (fodder), and we have to carry this 'boosa' from another street. We have absolutely no road system here. Someone has said that no one will provide a road. They have stopped the drain and road work.
— Manjunatha G B · Kanaganamaradi, Mandya, Karnataka
Are you doing well? We are going for some work. Beyond that, we are leaving having gained nothing. What have we gotten? Why is there no development? What have the villagers done for us? We went for wages, but we were not paid.
— Likith Dip · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka
To obtain our building license, someone wrote to an urban development authority. For some rural or original urban area, there's no progress there. One moment.
— Likith Dip · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka
Brother, he hasn't properly covered the soil and left. Not even one street road is correct. Not even one drainage pipe is correct. There's no neatness. The light poles, brother, they take money from the Panchayat, they come, brother, but they haven't installed a single light. What haven't I done, sir? This circle, brother, here's the circle.
— Likith Dip · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka
There is no headquarters in our Sunkatanur area. Because if we need to give an injection, we have to go to the anganwadi and do it there. Also, we ASHA workers cannot sit together in one place and do our departmental work.
— Manjunatha G B · Sunkatonnuru, Mandya, Karnataka
No, they are not doing it. No one from the government. Once a bull appeared. For three days, even the minor roads in the village are not ready. Modi's governance, Modi's governance! No one is cleaning, right? Who will do it? Come and see the village, look at the Gram Panchayat (village council).
— Likith Dip
In our village, people have eaten the society's money, the society is in loss, the dairy is in loss, there is a road problem, and there is a street light problem. No matter how much is done or posted, it's not put up now, one
— rakshitha raju · Mahadeshwarapura, Mandya, Karnataka
Sir, they said a letter came from the panchayat stating our road would be ready, but then they claimed a stay order was issued. To this day, no one has investigated the matter.
— Manjunatha G B
Do it, tell me, there is so much. There is no kitchen in one place, they couldn't even build that. Modi's drains are not clean, they haven't been built yet. The problem is the same on that side too.
— Likith Dip · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka
There is an opportunity for a holiday. Tell me. Anthahalli Basavaraju. The problem in our village is that in this Kalvani street, there are three street lines, and the old line is causing a lot of trouble. Please get that done for us. Because it's old, we are facing a lot of problems with water supply. Please get that done. Also, there is no way for farmers to come after 4 or 5 o'clock for the bus. We need a separate road from Pandupura to Anthahalli. School children need a separate bus, and farmers also need a separate bus.
— Siddu ಅಂತನಹಳ್ಳಿ · Giriyarahalli, Mandya, Karnataka
Yes, tell me. Maranahalli village does not have a graveyard. The government has not released a graveyard for us. Please, the poor are facing a lot of trouble. Identify a graveyard there.
— Likith Dip · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka
There are enough grants coming to the panchayat, but they are not being implemented. Many poor people have not received houses. It's surprising. So many people are in sheds, in temporary shelters, many near their land.
— Darshan S.K
Hey, we are here. Are they taking us away? They should look after us. Build a road for us. We are having trouble on that very road. Give us this land back, and those too.
— Likith Dip · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka
Okay, tell me, those who watch will not be Arun, those who are not Arun, Arun, Arun will not be. Those who do all that are the ones who developed the temple road well. They did well near Ramadatta inside the village. What's the problem?
— Likith Dip · Kanaganamaradi, Mandya, Karnataka
They say don't go to Shivalli in the health system, go to Mandya. The health department people are not looking at Mandya like Shivalli. Here, if we are not feeling well, we show ourselves privately because there are no private facilities here and no government facilities.
— Darshan S.K · Bevukallu, Mandya, Karnataka
Tell me, our problems are that the streets are not straight, and the drains are not made. What will the current MLA do for us? First, our village members are not good. They don't bring any grants to our village. How do these people vote in the assembly elections for this constituency?
— Darshan S.K · Hatna, Mandya, Karnataka
You know, 'I love you,' what brother? I won't go outside, man. All that can't be said. Tell me what the problem is in our village. I won't go to the village. Besides this, there's no problem at the circle, nothing like that.
— Likith Dip
We are children of farmers. No matter how much we earn, even if it's crores, people look for IT/BT jobs, outside jobs, good clothes, and good cars. That's why they hesitate to give their daughters to farmers. This issue is not yet resolved.
— Siddappa
We have been working until now. They told us, 'We are SC voters, SC community members, let's work, do the work, and we will arrange for a low grant.' But after that, if they just form a society, we will have no support. If there's work, there's an opportunity; otherwise, there isn't. What's the benefit for us in inquiring further about this? This is about government work.
— rakshitha raju
Ha hmm, what do you think? If everyone else goes to enjoy themselves, what should happen to the farmers' children? Have the cities become such without farmers? They have grown up here until now, earning lakhs of salaries, and today they say they don't want farmers' children. Okay, you didn't write it, write it down.
— Uma mahadevappa
There is nothing there. Despite the grant being written, the people didn't provide anything for the cattle shed. What is the benefit of whatever facility is there? It's useless, no matter which MLA provides it. They had done it for us in Halebeedu village.
— Manjunatha G B
Sir, what happened there? We have an issue concerning Chiradi among us. People who were expecting more work from a certain side are just observing faces. The party thinks they are of that kind. Nothing will happen according to their wishes.
— Darshan S.K · Kharadya, Mandya, Karnataka
We have repeatedly requested for a revenue office in our village. But they haven't taken any action. If we get a revenue office, it would be a bit convenient for us. -Lokesh.
— rakshitha raju · Sunkatonnuru, Mandya, Karnataka
I am Ravi from Sunkathannur. There is no Nada Kacheri (village office) in our village. We have been requesting for a Nada Kacheri for two years, but it has not been done. We request that it be provided.
— rakshitha raju · Sunkatonnuru, Mandya, Karnataka
Please, our MLA, there are no basic facilities, no roads, and no proper drainage in Kanugumaradi Gram Panchayat and its surrounding villages. Please come and visit once and look into this matter.
— Santhosh Kumar v c · Kharadya, Mandya, Karnataka
What's the use, father? I'm telling you, I'm 100% sure, son, that absolutely no development has taken place in our Shivahalli village's Dudda Hobli. No development has happened in Dudda Hobli. Do you want to say anything else? Is there any other problem? No business, no work has been done, my dear.
— Darshan S.K
My name is Raju Keretanna. The road system in our village is not good. Also, the road connecting to Chaturka Gram Panchayat is not good. Even though our village is included in the tourism department, there is still no tourism here.
— rakshitha raju · Mahadeshwarapura, Mandya, Karnataka
Our Lakshmi Sagara village does not have bus facilities. There is no arrangement for children to go to school. Please arrange for that for us. There is a problem for us regarding bus travel, and gas is also very expensive.
— Preetham P U
Hello everyone, I am Sunasi Murthy from Sunkatondoor. The road construction work in our village has been somewhat reduced, so I am requesting that it be compensated for. Also, the sanitation of our village and the village itself...
— rakshitha raju
Madam/Sir, that's why meters haven't been installed. Also, for those roads, normally some necessary work hasn't been done. The pipeline has been laid well. Some (connections) work, some don't. Some taps get damaged repeatedly. Water is not reaching them. They haven't provided for the future.
— Ranjan · Mahadeshwarapura, Mandya, Karnataka
There's no specialty here. If you go to the hospital, they'll tell you it's not good there and to go to Mandya. You have to travel to Mandya, but there aren't proper buses. There are all these kinds of problems.
— Uma mahadevappa · Bevukallu, Mandya, Karnataka
In our village Nallanahalli, no road has been built for the past 15 years, and that is why...
— Raghavendra · Krishnarajapete, Mandya, Karnataka
There are a lot of problems in Pandavapura, especially regarding electricity and water scarcity. And I want to look into solutions. Instead of relying on software, why don't you build something else? When my friends visit this place... Right?
