The Hindu
They claim that the Karnataka Government had announced the scheme a year ago
Students of Rani Channamma University blocked the car of Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai when he arrived to lay the foundation stone for the university’s new building in Hire Bagewadi village near Belagavi on December 22.
They shouted slogans against the Karnataka Government for failing to keep its promise of giving laptops to students.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight.
