CM's Janata Darshan program to be held once a month

Bengaluru: Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy is planning to meet the public once a month at his home-office instead every week.

“Doctors have advised him to meet people once a month,” an official from the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) told a news daily.

Kumaraswamy used to meet over 3000 people weekly in the Janata Darshan program.

“The Chief Minister was developing fever and respiratory issues after the meetings which last over 12 hours and the doctors have advised him to hold them once a month,” the official added.

Besides this, over 150 people used to wait outside his home-office everyday to seek his intervention on various issues.

In July, about 250 unemployed youth from across the state were offered jobs after a special team from the CMO tied up with various companies to provide employment on Kumaraswamy’s directions.

Several poor people also come to the Chief Minister seeking help with housing, pension and other benefits from the state.
