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
The MLA of Melukote constituency, all the products of this natural farming, all the low products are of poor quality, so original
— Shivakumar s k · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka
Adulteration is rampant in natural farming everywhere. The demand for original natural products is decreasing significantly. I request you to first control adulterated natural products.
— Smriti Tiwari · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka
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

A request to the honorable MLA to help farmers in the Nelakote constituency by building a sales outlet nearby for them to sell their grown crops and providing a support price.
— Uma mahadevappa · Damadahalli, Mandya, Karnataka
Hi, we are reporting a lack of jobs and training here in our constituency. We would like agriculture, organic farming, training in our constituency.
— Srinivas Mangipudi · Arpora, Baga, North Goa
Hello, we are testing the Milkote Vani app. We just visited your constituency and wanted to see how this product works.
— Soumya Sharma
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
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
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
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
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
I am unable to include all the information in a single slide. I believe this kind of alcohol will definitely affect our future generations; teenagers are also becoming addicted, which will destroy the future of our village. We were initially people of a dry land and lacked proper facilities. Sir, if you take action, our village development will automatically grow. I kindly request you to take decisive action against him. Even when I tried to complain to the Abkari Ilakke (Excise Department), they only came and put a fine on him, which didn't impact him much. They even gave a certain amount to the Melukote police station. The bar owner from Jakanahalli distributes a lot of alcohol here twice a week to people. Sir, I kindly request you to take action regarding this situation. I believe in you, sir; you will provide justice to me. If you need any further complaint, I am ready to identify myself. My name is LikhithkumarD, and I am from Balighatta. Thank you.
— Kumar
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
This is one of the worst things here. I raised a complaint about alcohol being sold in our village's major general store. Actually, this isn't a personal matter or a minor issue; it significantly contributes to the growth of our village. However, the problem is that these complaints have had zero impact – no action has been taken, and even now, they sell more black market alcohol than before 😂. The people in the panchayat office know everything but pretend not to. I respect Darshan sir, but please take some action on these kinds of issues. I know it might seem like a silly matter to handle, but the result will be very effective for the poor people.
— Kumar
We are Keretanuru Praveen. In our village, the drainage system is not very good. They keep dumping all the sewage here. Please fix that.
— Preetham P U · Tonnuru, Mandya, Karnataka
Farmers are not getting the right price and not getting the right information also about the market. There should be clear ways to find these out otherwise very difficult.
— Shram
Hello, I am Suvane Ambuttu from Vishweshwaranagar, Pandavapura Taluk. In our Vishweshwaranagar Housing Board Colony, the roads are not in good condition at all. Please do something about this.
— Vinayraj manju
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
Brother, please speak for a minute. (This is) B.Ed Nagava, from Mandya district, Dudda village, Bevakal post. Brother, here the streets are not connected, the streets are not connected, and the light poles are also not connected, brother. Please build some roads, brother, for the people now.
— Darshan S.K · 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
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
Hi sir, this is from Balighatta. In our village, we are facing a major problem: a high number of people are becoming alcoholics because alcohol is being sold without a license in every general store and tea shop. Most villages in our Melukote hobli are experiencing this issue. These storekeepers are selling alcohol without the proper license, and the Grama Panchayat has not taken any action against them. Even those who are known sellers show no hesitation. They have already paid a fine for illegal alcohol sales, but it's only 10,000, an amount they recover within 3 days. They sell around 200+ liters in our village every month. A general person works hard and earns about 400 per day, but they spend 300 daily on buying this black-market alcohol. How can the people in my village develop? Rich people always engage in this kind of alcohol selling and become richer, while poor people are trapped in this cycle. How can poor people improve their lives? Sir, I kindly request you to take decisive action against this situation.
— Kumar · Jakkanahalli, Mandya, Karnataka
Even though Mannat is an MLA, he doesn't stay quiet. Please visit Kammali Malik Rama Panchayat once. Even after two years as an MLA, he has not visited our Todakuppa Panchayat village even once. Please.
— Santhosh Kumar v c · Vadesamudra, Mandya, Karnataka
I am requesting you to speak in the legislative assembly regarding the necessity for farmers' children to first understand agriculture, and also concerning the issue where the daughters of farmer friends are not getting married.
— Ranjan
Many people are reporting problems with farming. We are trying to scale them, analyze all the feedback and determine the overall sentiment.
— beardcoded · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka
They are experiencing a problem that stems from Kudandikol (or a specific system/source). Water is not reaching the last point, and this is causing numerous issues. When electricity, especially phased current, is supplied, people turn on their motors. This leads to insufficient water flow at the final level, and also affects the drainage.
— Uma mahadevappa
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
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
But in some places, there are no drainage systems and no road systems, and in places where there are road systems and drainage systems, there is no proper cleaning of them. There should be proper cleaning and locals should also be aware of this, this is our program.
— Manjunatha G B
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
By putting the construction materials used next to the drain, they fall inside, preventing the drain water from flowing properly and causing a bad smell. Also, by putting cement bags next to that drain, they fall inside, stopping the water from flowing and causing a very bad smell. In empty plots, by throwing household waste and other waste materials, it is causing a lot of trouble and a bad smell. The authorities should pay attention to that.
— Arvi Gowda · Bengaluru, Bengaluru Urban, Karnataka
We farmers have to maintain the expenses, we have to try to earn income accordingly, we have to use all these, I am looking at how much is needed here, the farmers will not do all that, the government gives two rice.
— Bhargvi · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka
Now, the land in Old Bidar, in numbers 402, 3, and 1014, is in disrepair. The land is damaged, it has become dilapidated, there is no proper system, and no road system. Please get the encroachments cleared and construct a road.
— Manjunatha G B · Attiganahalli, Mandya, Karnataka
There is no sports stadium for love in our village. There is a road problem. Water flows beside the drain. We request that it be fixed.
— Ranjan · Sunkatonnuru, 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.
— Manjunatha G B
A request to establish small industrial areas in various places within the Melkote assembly constituency for the people, to prevent young men and women from migrating to Bangalore.
— Siddappa
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
The road from Alukuppe village to Alukuppe Malenahalli is not good, it needs to be repaired immediately.
— rakshitha raju
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.
