Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs
Dharam Singh, the Chief Minister of Karnataka, is slowly but surely killing the goose (Bangalore) that lays the golden eggs (jobs and investments).
Crumbling and wholly inadequate infrastructure is being allowed to crumble further and totally wither away whereas the need of the hour is to bolster it by adding adequate new infrastructure.
Just a few examples will suffice to show what the CM is doing (sitting on his fat arse)
Who, in their right minds, would want to invest further in Bangalore?
But I truly believe that we get the government we deserve.
Bangalore deserves nothing more than a government that is as lazy, laidback and incompetent as its people!

- For some reason not apparent to most, the road leading off from Residency Road towards Magrath Road (just before the junction with Brigade Road) has been dug up. Maintenance work is fine, but to leave the road dug up without any signs of progress on fixing it and permitting traffic back on it, is definitely stupid.
- Koramangala's 80 feet link road (connecting National Games Village and Sarjapur Road) has been in a state of total mess for more than two years now, again with no hope of progress in sight! Traffic always crawls on this road, increasing fuel consumption and fuelling tempers and road rage. The road surface in many places has been stripped of tar and the rocks below extract a heavy toll on vehicle tyres.
- The road besides Agara tank just outside Koramangala (leading to HSR Layout and the Outer Ring Road) has been partially dug up for atleast four years now with no hope of improvement in sight.
- The flyover at Airport Road - Inner Ring Road junction close to Indra Nagar's 100 feet Road that was supposed to be completed last year is nowhere near completion. One of the rumours floating around alleges that the powers that be wanted the contractor (UP state government owned company) to offer them bribes and when refused stopped payment to the contractor for work already completed. Naturally the contractor stopped work! Now the construction will be retendered! Adding to delays and losses.
- The less said about Sarjapur Road, the better it is for my BP!
