The work speaks for itself. Gruha Lakshmi, free bus travel for women, and now pattas... this government has delivered on major promises. Kudos to the team. Hope they keep the momentum for full 5 years.

Why so much secrecy around DK Shivakumar's Delhi visit? If it's about irrigation projects and legal issues, be open about it. Public has the right to know what's being discussed, especially when it involves state resources.

Organising a massive event costs public money. Would rather see those funds go directly into completing more projects or improving infrastructure in Haveri itself. Celebration should be low-key and efficient.

The double engine sarkar at the centre is creating hurdles, so it's good that DKS is meeting Union Ministers to sort out irrigation project issues. State's development should not suffer due to politics.

Hope the distribution of pattas is smooth and reaches the genuine beneficiaries. Often in these big events, the actual needy get left out. The proof will be in the implementation on the ground.
