    🏘️ ❓ 🚫

    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

    🏘️ 📉 😔

    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

    🤦‍♀️ 🚫 ❓

    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

    🗣️ 🚫 ❓

    No one is telling us anything here, we don't know, no one is saying anything.

    — Preetham Preethu · Haravu, 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

    🚧 🚫 😠

    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

    🏘️ 🛠️ ❓

    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

    🛣️ 🚧 🚫

    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

    💰 📉 🚫

    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

    🚫 🏥 ❓

    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 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

    👷 💸 😔

    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

    🏠 🚧 😡

    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

    🛣️ 🏚️ 😥

    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

    ❓ 🧐 🚫

    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

    🌾 🚧 🚚

    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

    🗣️ ➡️ 🏥

    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

    🚧 🚶‍♀️ 😔

    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

    🛣️ 💥 🚶‍♀️

    I am not making any noise or anything. The road to Shivashaila, which is the route to go to the side of the parcel, is not correct. The tar has all peeled off. Please get it repaired a bit, sir. It's difficult to walk, and children will face difficulties.

    — Likith Dip

    🏛️ 🚧 😠

    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

    🚰 🔒 😔

    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

    🛣️ 🚧 🛠️

    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

    💸 ❓ 🤷

    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

    🏘️ ❌ 🤷

    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

    👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 🚧 ✊

    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

    🏘️ 🗑️ 😔

    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

    🚧 🤦 🛣️

    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

    ❓ 🤔 🗣️

    There is no information. If you want to know information, what should you do?

    — Likith Dip · Hulikere Koppalu, 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.

    — 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

    🏘️ 🚧 🚫

    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

    🚫 🤏 🏘️

    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

    🛣️ 🚧 😩

    These field roads, this field road, it's impossible to go on. We can't go, we can't come back. Vehicles can't pass. We have to carry things on our heads. Water has accumulated everywhere, there are potholes. We can't navigate through them, nor can we return through them. What should we do?

    — Preetham P U

    🏘️ ❌ 🚧

    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

    🗣️ ✅ ❓

    I spoke there, not a problem, tell me the problem

    — Ranjan · Sunkatonnuru, 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

    📝 🚫 ❓

    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

    🏘️ 🔌 ❌

    No, talk about this village. My name is Priya. Here in Haralukuppe, there's a big problem with electricity. That needs to be addressed first. The power goes out a lot, a lot.

    — Manjunatha G B

    🚧 🚫 🚶

    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

    🌾 🏙️ ❓

    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.
