BELAGAVI: A video jibe at Khanapur MLA for her alleged absence from the constituency ever since the enforcement of lockdown has gone viral on social media.
In his Facebook post, Joythiba Baramappanavar has urged the government to trace MLA Anjali Nimbalkar, “who is missing in action from the first day of lockdown”. The video, posted on April 29, has been shared by thousands.
Targeting the MLA, Joythiba says in the video: “Despite farmers facing crises in the absence of supply chain, the MLA has not visited Khanapur even once. They need help in these challenging times.”
According to Joythiba, Anjali visited the constituency regularly prior to assembly polls in 2018. “She had organised mass marriages, kabaddi matches and other activities for votes. However, her presence gradually came down after the polls, and it is nil now. Elected representatives are duty-bound to bail out farmers in the hour of crisis,” he said, and cited the suicide of 55-year-old chilli grower Kallappa Balekundri owing to losses.
“Even when the people are struggling to get food kits and masks, the MLA, despite being a medico, is sitting in the comfort of her house. If we protest, police will jail us. So I shot this video, which is a wake-up call for the government send her back to the constituency,” he added.
