    🚧 🚫 😠

    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

    🗑️ 🚫 🔌

    The city is all full of garbage, all the trash is just lying around inside the village, nothing has been cleaned up. No work has been done by the panchayat, no work is being done. Also, there is no proper electricity, son.

    — Uma mahadevappa · Shivalli, 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

    — rakshitha raju · Mahadeshwarapura, Mandya, Karnataka

    🚧 🚫 😠

    No development work has happened at all. It doesn't matter which MLA comes, they or these. No work is done. All roads are full of potholes; it's a complete mess.

    — Likith Dip · Sunkatonnuru, Mandya, Karnataka

    🏘️ ❌ 🚧

    It's all neglected. No concrete has been laid on the streets, and there are no drains. Everything is just left as it is. Within the village, two or three streets don't have concrete; we haven't even seen concrete, and there are no drains either.

    — Darshan S.K

    🛣️ 🚧 🚫

    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

    🏘️ 🚫 😡

    No water at all. Roads are not built. Drains are not done. Roads are not built. What are they doing? They haven't made roads even after taking up the projects. Zero facilities. Zero water, their provision is a disgrace. They release water, but the drinking water you are asking for, have you even had any? You get nothing, absolutely nothing.

    — Uma mahadevappa · Kanaganamaradi, 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

    🚧 🚶‍♀️ 😔

    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 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

    🏘️ 🗑️ 😔

    In Shorli village, there is no one to sweep the main circles, nothing at all. They collect all the taxes, but there is no cleanliness. Brother, this is ours.

    — Likith Dip · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka

    📶 🚫 📚

    Sir, Pandavapura taluk, Odrahalli village, the mobile network is not available at all, sir. Because of the lack of network, children are unable to study online classes or access any network.

    — chandan V K · Srirangapatna, 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

    🏘️ 🚧 💧

    The main entrance road of Halavu Kuppa is not good for entering the village. The water supply is not proper. Even though water normally comes, there is no proper drainage system. There is no main drainage. There are no roads inside the village, mainly.

    — Likith Dip

    🏘️ 🚧 🙏

    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

    🛣️ 💧 🚧

    The road to Halakuppe main gate is not good, water is not good to go inside the village, water comes normally, there is no drainage, there is no main drainage, there is no road inside the village mainly.

    — Likith Dip · Hosayalekere, 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

    🏘️ 🚧 💔

    There is no good drainage system in Aralu Kuppa, and now after the Congress government came, there are about 500 potholes and no road system. There is no public system at all for Aralu Kuppa.

    — Likith Dip

    🏡 📵 🙏

    Sir, there is no mobile network at all in Vadralli village. Please make some arrangement for it.

    — chandan V K

    🚧 🤦 🛣️

    Inside the road construction, nothing is properly built. There's no road in any of the three sections. Everything is dug up and left unfinished. First, the drains haven't been laid, and the base layers haven't been cemented. They haven't even made a cement road. There must be all sorts of problems here.

    — Kushal Shekar · Haravu, Mandya, Karnataka

    🏠 🚧 😡

    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

    🏘️ 🚫 🛣️

    In our village Nallanahalli, no road has been built for the past 15 years, and that is why...

    — Raghavendra · Krishnarajapete, 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

    🏘️ ❌ 🤷

    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

    🏫 ❌ 💧

    My name is Karthik, I am from Dambarhalli Gram Panchayat. In the Dambarhalli area, which is under the Betteli Gram Panchayat, there are no house rankings, no facilities, no water, and no taps in our area's Shitas College.

    — Manjunatha G B · Kurubara Bettahalli, Mandya, Karnataka

    🛣️ 🚧 🛠️

    The roads in the village are causing us a lot of problems. All the roads are dug up and have become unusable, so we need the roads to be repaired. That's our only problem, there are no other issues. All the roads around the circles are in a bad state, so please develop the roads a bit for us.

    — Preetham Preethu

    🏘️ 🚧 🚫

    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

    🛣️ 🚫 ✨

    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

    🛣️ 🚧 🛠️

    The roads in the village are our biggest problem. All the roads are dug up and in disarray. We need the roads to be repaired. That's our only problem, nothing else. All the roads near the circle are also in a bad state. We are requesting that the roads be developed a bit.

    — Preetham Preethu · Aralakuppe, Mandya, Karnataka

    🛣️ 💔 🍚

    There is no road from Duddha to Huli Lake now. There is no road even to Hulle. We have to go there and bring rice. All the roads are gone. There is nothing else.

    — Likith Dip

    🛣️ 🚫 🙏

    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.

    — Likith Dip · Shivalli, 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

    🚧 🚫 😠

    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

    🏛️ 🚫 💪

    What has this government given you? Nothing from this government. From Modi's side, only a gas connection named Bhagya Jyothi came, that's all. They haven't done anything else for us, not even for the village's development. What else can we do? We just do labor work and survive.

    — Likith Dip · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka

    🚧 🚫 🚶

    There is no road, this bridge needs to be built. All bridges are like this. It's a big problem to keep going. T.S. Chitra, there is no way to go there at all. No way to go.

    — Preetham Preethu · Mahadeshwarapura, Mandya, Karnataka

    🛣️ 💥 🛠️

    Okay, there's no road there. There's only no cleanliness, nothing. Are all these things missing? Sixty-two accidents occur at any given time, and something should be done about that on the streets.

    — Likith Dip · Haravu, 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

    🕳️ 🌧️ 🌉

    There is a pothole on the road to Kappage from Jeeves Kshetra in Ballari. A bridge has not been built below that village yet. If it rains and water overflows, it is impossible to cross. A bridge needs to be built there. Please look into this.

    — Preetham Preethu · Ingalaguppe, 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

    🏚️ 🚧 🛣️

    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.
