Kumaraswamy has directed all party legislators, including those who lost in recently held elections to launch the scheme in Ramanagara and Channapatna taluk.

Apart from this, Kumaraswamy has also decided to supply daily essentials to public in Ramanagara district, and data collation work for the same has already begun.
