# Devanur Mahadeva urges Gen-Z to oppose Bidadi township project 2026-08-15T06:47:47+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Writer Devanur Mahadeva has urged the younger generation to lead opposition to Karnataka’s proposed Bidadi Township project. Speaking in Mysuru on August 14, he questioned the acquisition of agricultural land and asked who would farm it if all farmers surrendered their holdings. He also asked whether the government would provide jobs, livelihoods and protection from migration and slum conditions. Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha leader Badagalapura Nagendra said a committee headed by retired Supreme Court judge V. Gopalagowda found the project legally invalid and harmful to the environment. The group plans a padayatra from Byramangala to Bengaluru’s Freedom Park on August 25. Mahadeva said Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy and Opposition Leader R. Ashoka would share responsibility if the project proceeded. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: Bidadi Township, D K Shivakumar, Devanur Mahadeva, H D Kumaraswamy, Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/devanur-mahadeva-urges-gen-z-to-oppose-bidadi-township-project/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
