"Grama Vastavya" programme is a new gimmick: BSY takes jibe
Bengaluru: "Grama Vastavya" initiative of Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy is a new gimmick, said Vidhan Sabha opposition leader and former CM Yeddyurappa.
Addressing a press meet in the City on Monday, he said, "Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy had stayed in five star hotel for the past one year. Therefore he was unable to meet the general public. He did not concentrate when we criticised about this."
The governance of the state has completely disrupted in the state. Neither district in-charge minister, nor any officer nor MLA, has visited drought-hit areas. Let the Chief Minister first visit to the drought-prone areas," BSY urged.
