MLA Y. Bharat Shetty criticized the Mines Department’s claim of sand availability via the DK Sand Bazaar App, stating the sand was too coarse for construction. BJP leaders, including MLC K. Prathapsimha Nayak, reiterated that the poor supply has left many construction workers jobless. The party urged the government to act immediately or face protests.
