Raichur, Jan 25: A Congress legislator opted to ride a two-wheeler to personally visit various places and get to know the problems of his voters firsthand. This initiative has come in for praise in social websites. People have also hailed the legislator for his feat.

The people commonly come across officials, even in relatively minor positions, riding a car. However, Lingsugur MLA, D S Hoolageri, moved around the town in his two-wheeler and lent an ear to people's problems. He checked position of drinking water supply, condition of roads, drains etc, spoke to people, got details of problems faced by them, and promised to address them.

As the MLA parked his car aside and used two-wheeler, the officials also followed him in bikes and scooters. The MLA asked the chief officer of the municipality to list out the extensions without concrete roads, and provide him the same. The locals captured the scene of the MLA moving around on video and spread it through social websites, which has become viral.
