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
Okay, tell me. For children to travel back and forth, please provide a bus stand for us on this side as well. This is our only request from the Melkote Assembly constituency. What's your name? Umalakshmi. Yes, tell me. Okay, that's it.

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
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...

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
Hello sir, we have come from Lakshmi Sagar. We are housewives and want to do something. If we want to do something from home, you have to support us, or if we need something, you have to give us an idea. We will do anything, but it has to be from home.
— Bhargvi
Hello, this is our route. Please make a road here; that's enough for us, we don't need anything else. Please develop and make good roads. That one has stopped; all the bylaws will be done.
— Preetham P U · Mahadeshwarapura, 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
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
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.

— Likith Dip · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka
Yes madam, there are many village children in Pandavapura. Every time they need a bus to Mysore. So if possible, if there is education there, it will be beneficial for the village children and poor children. We would like to ask for that.
— Bhargvi · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka
We need roads. We don't have a road to go down here. We need roads there too, but there are none. Father, we need roads. Also, there is a drinking water facility.

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...

In Sonkatthur village, we now have to go 15 or 12 kilometers from here to Pandavapura for the hospital. So, if a hospital is opened here, it will be closer. Secondly, we need a Nadakacheri (revenue office) for our village.
— Manjunatha G B · Sunkatonnuru, Mandya, Karnataka
We are Mahesh from Sunka Tanur, and there is no proper road and sewage system after that, we are requesting our MLA to get it done.
— Ranjan · Sunkatonnuru, Mandya, Karnataka
It would be very convenient if there was a direct bus service from Kyathnalli to Pandavapura. But Mysore city is on both sides for us. But first of all, we don't even have a bus to our taluk.
— Manjunatha G B
A center, a hospital for us, should come to our village. That is what is important now because it is 12 kilometers away for us. Mandya is also far. Therefore, for us here
— Manjunatha G B
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
Telli and Chaksha need to walk two kilometers from the Telegram point to the circle. From there, we are requesting that a bus be arranged for us to Pandavapura.

No, have you arrived, sir? We saw someone here in Pandavapura and they sent us to Pandavapura. Ha. Farmer. First of all, the government should first give us education, quality education, meaning, everyone should be given quality education. Farmer, farmer, farmer.
— Bhargvi
From Circle to Hedral, a road should be built from Circle to Agnanalli. After that, what our village needs for all its hamlets is a Nadu Kacheri (revenue office), that's one important work that needs to be done. There was the main road and the Nadu Kacheri.
— rakshitha raju · Aralakuppe, Mandya, Karnataka
Our village has a population of 10,000 people, and there are 7,000 voters. Please, we need a Naad Kacheri (revenue office); we have to go 15 kilometers to Chimpuli. Please, we need it. Aralukuppe village.
— Ranjan · Aralakuppe, 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
Basani Basani sir, on behalf of farmers, if 'giving a girl' means 'not giving,' then farmers should have all the necessary facilities, they own land, they are working hard, they are involved in all aspects, and they are getting educated.
— Manjunatha G B
We are running. This is Mandaburam, a village near Adakkur. Our village road and increased water supply are the main needs. Sir, we have a big issue to raise.
— Smriti Tiwari · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka
Sir, a delivery hospital and an ambulance service should be arranged for Alakuppe village. And the roads are still very damaged; all of them need to be repaired a little.

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
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
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.

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
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.

We have come from Balli to Pandavapura, sir. Tell me, sir, what should be done for the farmers' families regarding organic farming, and what will you do to help them grow vegetables and provide fertilizers?
— Bhargvi · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka
Sir/Madam, we are from Melkote. Our Paramesh Gowda has made a lot of efforts for the development of Melkote in the past. Even now, Melkote lacks cleanliness and the tourists who come here don't have facilities. Neatness is also our aim.
— Bhargvi · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka
Sir, this is Darshan speaking from inside. Sir, our road needs to be extended closer to us. It will be about one kilometer. Please, sir, build a road for us from the gate to the inside.
— Darshan Ramu
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
There is no bus stop in our village. The bus stop is not properly maintained. Please ask them to build a proper bus stop. Also, buses do not stop, no matter which one passes. This causes a lot of trouble for school-going children. All the buses (are like this).
— Likith Dip
Hi, we are reporting a lack of jobs and training here in our constituency. We would like agriculture, organic farming, training in our constituency.
