That's the only job, putting it on, putting it on, what happens? It's going away. Oh, where, where should I inquire? I don't know. Go to the Social Welfare Department and bring it. We don't know where or what.
— Darshan S.K · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka
I've really messed up, haven't I? Nothing else will come for the other two children. Speak, that's not it, that's all different, brother. Our recording is going live. So, no record will be available. What is your problem?
— Ranjan · Shambhunahalli, Mandya, Karnataka
What happened? Speak up, tell us. No, speak, they will leave. Speak, let it be. There's no hospital here. We need to go to Pandavapura, Mysore, Bangalore. Yes, speak like that, just keep speaking. That's all, just that.
— Ranjan
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
What are they doing if they are calling by now? We would have gone and inquired, but oh, we don't even know where to inquire here. They told us to go to the Social Welfare Department, but we don't know anything about where or what to do there, so we didn't go.
— Likith Dip
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
If it is necessary, what kind of problem is this?
— Bhargvi
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
There is no information. If you want to know information, what should you do?
— Likith Dip · Hulikere Koppalu, 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
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
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
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
No one is telling us anything here, we don't know, no one is saying anything.
— Preetham Preethu · Haravu, Mandya, Karnataka
They are doing things they shouldn't be doing. My name is Jayamma. They said 'ant nalli' (referring to a specific tap/connection). Water has become a problem here. We came to this tap, but if we go to that tap, there's no water in this tap. We don't get even a drop of water. After they've taken it, we either get it or we don't. They scold us. Those who install taps scold us. We can't do that now. Water has become a big problem for us. They say they will cut all the water. The water problem has already hit us, we have nothing. We don't have water to drink. Where will we drink from? There is no water anywhere. If we go to one person's tap, the other person won't give water from their tap. What else are we supposed to do? Look at us. Look at the water. They had placed a valve here, but they've closed the valve here. They've closed the valve here. It's only one valve. If we need water there, we can take it. If we go to their tap, if we go to these people's tap, water won't come into the bucket. Do you understand our situation?
— Siddu ಅಂತನಹಳ್ಳಿ · Giriyarahalli, 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
I'll take it now. You always said. Is there, let me speak something, what do you need? What is the problem? This is the problem. Are these speakers taking it? Cleanliness problem.
— Mahadeva · ಹೊಸಯರಗನಹಳ್ಳಿ, Mandya, Karnataka
I spoke there, not a problem, tell me the problem
— Ranjan · Sunkatonnuru, Mandya, Karnataka
I did not do it, who did not do it in Pamana Gavadibadatulge, nothing can be done, and then these roads are not there, they have fallen, what remains of them, if something happens to the poor
— Likith Dip · Shivalli, 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

— Manjunatha G B · Sunkatonnuru, Mandya, Karnataka
We don't know anything about what's here. There's a grocery store nearby, they know the details about Kurpar. If you talk to them there and ask, you'll know.
— Likith Dip
Tell me, there is a problem with fungus rain in Halebidu, the drains are not cleaned, even if the Gram Panchayat gives it, there is no use, there is no use, they say all the roads are broken, what's the use?
— rakshitha raju · Menagara, Mandya, Karnataka
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
Okay, tell me, has he taken a license for such an industrial project, for one banne, and he hasn't stopped it, nothing, the work is done, it's been more than three months, I can't even get a building license. Urban and Rural Planning Department indifference.
— Darshan S.K · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka
If you apply fertilizer now, it won't grow. Understood? During the whole rainy season, you used to manage everything, right? You were doing it, so why isn't it happening today? It's not. Why is that? It won't work now, it hasn't been done.
— Likith Dip
Tell me, sir, what kind of help? What help did we not get? What kind of help is needed? Now, if we want to grow crops, if we want to grow vegetables, we need money. We need fertilizer. Then the entire land needs to be leveled.
— Bhargvi
Let's talk. What shall we say to you? Tell us what you lack. We don't have any shortcomings, actually. If there's something about a shortcoming, will you tell us? Tell us what you think about the Narasimha Kshetra. One minute.
— Darshan S.K · Bevukallu, Mandya, Karnataka
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
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
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
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
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?
— Bhargvi · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka
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
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
The food prices are too high, what's the point of spending 3000-4000? Nothing grows. All the poor people are putting it in, or not putting it in. What can we do? We all work as laborers. If they do it or not, what can we do? After putting it in...
— Preetham P U
Who should be selected for that? Ramachandra should be Ramachandra. Explain the concept in our college. Ramachandra, however, has completely degenerated, and no one is paying attention to this.
— Ranjan
What to say, there isn't a single light in this temple, all the drains are now closed, the roads are all broken from there. What else to say, all the roads are like this, the road to the next village is completely closed.
— Likith Dip · Bevukallu, Mandya, Karnataka
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 are talking, it's being recorded. I'm talking, didn't I talk? No No Sir, if the location is on, wherever you go, it takes that location and it p
