The latest communication comes amid the absence of any response from the state government or the chief minister to Kumaraswamy’s earlier letter seeking a joint visit to the project area to hear the concerns of affected communities.
Reiterating that discussions on a project of such scale should be held in the presence of those whose livelihoods and lands could be impacted, Kumaraswamy urged the chief minister to visit Byramangala along with officials of the Greater Bengaluru Authority and other concerned departments.
In his June 25 letter, Kumaraswamy said he was still awaiting a response to his communication dated June 22.
“I wish to draw your kind attention to your letter dated June 22, 2026, addressed to me and to my response sent on the same day. I trust my communication has received your consideration and I continue to await your response,” he said.
The Union minister said he would visit Byramangala on June 27 to meet farmers facing displacement, agricultural labourers, women engaged in dairy farming, small entrepreneurs and other residents concerned about the proposed township project.
“I have enclosed my tour programme for June 27, 2026, for your perusal. Should you deem it appropriate to visit Byramangala on the same day, accompanied by officials of the Greater Bengaluru Authority, I believe we can jointly listen to the grievances and concerns of the affected sections and explore practical alternatives at the site itself,” he said.Kumaraswamy’s office has forwarded the letter and the detailed itinerary of the proposed visit to the Chief Minister’s Office at Vidhana Soudha. The communication was also released to the media, with the minister expressing hope that the chief minister would respond positively and participate in discussions with affected residents.
