Ignoring the concerns of the Kodava-speaking community will lead to a strong protest.

Madikeri Ju. 2: President of Kodava speaking communities Dr. Mechira Subhash Nanaiah expressed sadness.

The 2025-26 Annual General Meeting of the Kodava Speaking Communities was held at the Kodava Samaj hall in Murnadu. Presiding over the Mahasabha, he said that the administrative system is failing in providing basic facilities to the most backward tribals. He said that it is ironic that Kodava speaking people are being used only for vote bank.

One of the main demands of the Kodava speaking community is to find a permanent home for the community. He expressed his displeasure that even though he submitted a request to the government and the district administration after identifying the space, they have not been sanctioned so far.

Dr. Koleyanda, the leader of the race. Mohan Appaji, Ambadira Kariappa, Kudira Muthappa, Vasudev, Prabhukumar, Biddappa etc. spoke and said that we are going to cooperate fully with the community to get a permanent space for the construction of the community hall. Any problem that affects the self-respect of the race should be taken up through the struggle. The meeting supported everyone to leave the prestige aside and take to the streets together to fight. 

Apart from fighting fiercely on the issue of permanent space, the meeting took a decision to boycott the local panchayat elections after taking a look at the future circumstances.

According to the opinion of all the members, it was decided in the meeting to continue the working council of the group from three years to the next five years and to ensure that there is no division among the ethnic groups. Commemorating the sacrifice of Dr. Dalu Uttayya, a model for the society by donating organs, his wife Rajeshwari (Raji) was honored by the gathering.

Kudanda Saba Subramani, Honorary Secretary of the meeting welcomed and presented the comprehensive report and accounts of last year's Mahasabha. Condolences were expressed to the deceased members in the meeting.
