He said, "Letters have been dispatched to ministers responsible for agriculture, education, higher education, and revenue, urging them to engage with organisations intending to protest during the session. This outreach is intended to foster a collaborative approach to addressing grievances and finding viable solutions.

The goal is to prevent a recurrence of the challenges faced during the previous Belagavi session, where numerous organisations submitted petitions and engaged in protests, leading to substantial disruptions. Reflecting on the tumultuous events of the previous session, which saw a multitude of protests involving thousands of people, the speaker stressed the importance of addressing issues proactively. The ministers have been informed to find timely and effective solutions to prevent a repetition of the chaos experienced last  year.

In a notable suggestion, Speaker Basavaraja Horatti has advocated for the construction of an MLA house on a designated 20-acre plot along the Bengaluru-Pune highway. This proposal aims to streamline government spending, ensuring optimal use of resources while generating income through potential private management of the facility.
