There's a very strong drainage smell coming from nearby here. We are exhausted from repeatedly going and telling them (about it), instead of passively suffering here. They are not taking anything to heart. Please just look into it a little and pay attention, that's all. If nothing is done...

Oh, there's a big problem with water here, and they don't clean the drain at the back, so water collects everywhere. Also, we don't have much electricity. Please provide that, that's all.
— Likith Dip · Aralakuppe, 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
Are you working properly? Is everything alright? Don't keep crashing, I'm dying here. Ah, work properly. Okay.

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.

We are waiting for them to act in the future. Let's see when it will happen. We have taken this initiative, worked hard, and conducted business with the hope of some development today. They should have considered that.
— 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
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
This is strong, isn't it? Yes, this is strong. Alas! Okay, sir, now the fluctuations in my income are decreasing day by day. Then death becomes my direction. My only... what is it... day by day they...

If it is necessary, what kind of problem is this?
— Bhargvi
You weren't feeling well, were you? The boys are here to do labor. Now, this is all there is. Everyone has to go for daily wages. If even one packet is made, it would be helpful.
— Ranjan
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
Oh, sir, first talk. We have a bath drain at home, but it's not working, it's blocked. We need a bath drain to be fixed. We will show it to you.
— Likith Dip
Sir, it's not repaired, please get it repaired. Also, we need to be given the title deed and all that. And Sir, our house is an old, tile-roofed house, it's about to collapse/fall apart. We don't have a grant, please help us get one.
— Manjunatha G B · Attiganahalli, Mandya, Karnataka
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
Whether it's washing or cleaning, the dirt accumulates, sir. My name is Akash. They are making our canal dirty. If you get it cleaned, it would be very helpful for us, sir.
— Akash p · Kennalu, 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
For village development, the village's drainage system needs to be cleared repeatedly. There are also road problems. We request you, sir, to get all these issues rectified.
— 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
Even if we ask them to clean the drains, they won't do it. There's a lot of swimming and roaming around. Even if we ask them to build a road, no one properly builds one. The machines and street lines have been there for many days, for many days.
— Darshan S.K
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
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
That's the problem, children don't stop properly here. The school facility is not good, the bus facility is not good, the surroundings are not clean. Look how it is here, please do something about it.
— Likith Dip
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
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
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
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
I can speak. So whatever, so I wanted to describe about describe the problem about the youth not managing cleanliness in and around.
— KriS · Bengaluru, Bengaluru Urban, Karnataka
Our road should be developed, then the school, and then the hospital here. All of this needs to be developed. Some roads are not done. The power lines have all fallen down, so all that needs to be cleaned up and fixed.
— Likith Dip
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
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
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
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
In Moor, there's a problem with road drains and gutters. There's no cleanliness, everything is dirty. The Panchayat doesn't clean it. They will do something about it.
— Ranjan · Aralakuppe, 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
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
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.

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
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.
