He acknowledged that despite the BJP not being in power in Karnataka, under the leadership of Byndoor MLA Gururaj Gantihole, efforts are being made to ensure comprehensive development in the region. Key issues such as footbridges, drinking water supply, road improvements, streetlights, and agricultural irrigation are being addressed in stages. He also highlighted the ongoing construction of National Highway 766C from Byndoor to Ranebennur, which will enhance connectivity with Shivamogga.
