No jobs, Gen-Z is losing patience: BJP leader Vijayendra

The Chief Minister conducted an aerial survey. The Ministers, too, did the same. However, no steps have been taken to bailout the farmers. This is nothing but sheer negligence towards the people,” he said.

About the damaged crest gate at Tungabhadra Dam, he said, “The government had said it will be repaired within three months, but so far the work has not been started.”

Comparing the contribution of BJP to the irrigation, he said, “You started ‘walk towards Krishna’ and promised Rs 1 lakh crore for irrigation programmes in the state. After three years, your contribution is less than Rs 20,000 crore. In addition, you have stopped all the irrigation projects started by the BJP Government.”

Vijayendra also urged the government to look into the demands of the Sugarcane and Maize cultivators who are on street agitating for higher price for the produce.

Police thwart protest bid by SUCI-C demanding govt jobs

On Wednesday morning a team of police officers reached the Socialist Unity Centre of India (Communist) (SUCI-C) office in NTTF and took around 20 leaders into preventive custody. They ensured that none of the leaders reached Srinagar Circle, the protest site. A

few arrests were made at Jubilee Circle, too. The protesters said the police were acting on the direction of the state government. “It’s shocking that no leaders from the ruling and Opposition parties have noticed the issue,” one of the protesters said.
