Shetty also said that. Minister is not interested about the bad situation of roads within the jurisdiction of Gram Panchayats.

The state government sanctioned funds of Rs. 100 crore was used to concretize roads leading to major apartments belonging to his builder friends and he played an important role in making changes to the CDP so that people belonging to poor and middle classes remain houseless.
