BJP MLC Tejaswini Gowda wants proper security and care for senior citizens in Karnataka
BJP MLC Tejaswini Gowda wants Karnataka Government to set up old-age homes to ensure proper security and care for senior citizens.
During question hour in the legislative Council on December 21, Ms. Tejaswini Gowda said that the government had been providing financial assistance to non-government organisations to run old-age homes. “There is not one old-age home run by the government. Why has the government not thought of setting up one?”

When reporters brought to her notice the claim by villagers that the late maharaja of Mysore Sri Jayachamaraja Wadiyar had gifted the land to them, Pramoda Devi Wadiyar said she is not aware of the matter, but sought to assure people that no effort will be made to take back the land that had been gifted by the late maharaja.
