First-world tech talent. Third-world governance. That is the story of Bengaluru. Metro disruptions have become alarmingly frequent. And every time the Metro fails, the entire city descends into chaos. Cabs disappear. Autos refuse rides. Citizens are stranded. Yesterday, hardworking professionals in India’s Silicon Valley were forced to hitch rides on trucks and lorries just to get home after work. They will wake up tomorrow, go back to office, pay their taxes, and endure the same broken system all over again.

Mr. Chief Minister, Look at the plight of the common pedestrian in Bengaluru. For five years, I have been demanding a skywalk connecting Banashankari Metro Station and the BMTC bus terminal. Nothing moved. A few months ago, you came, posed for photographs, and performed the groundbreaking ceremony. I thought the project would finally begin. Now I am told the skywalk has been shelved because some contractor has suggested building a flyover instead. Today, when I visited the spot, commuters showed me a video of an elderly woman who lost her life while trying to cross this road just a few weeks ago. She died on the spot. Did it make headlines? No. Did it move your government into action? No. Because pedestrians are not your priority. The Metro commuter, the BMTC passenger, the elderly citizen risking their life to cross the road - they don’t matter. Your priority is a ₹50,000-crore tunnel project for a privileged few. Why have you stopped this skywalk? If there is even an iota of humanity left in this government, restart this project immediately. Don’t wait for another innocent life to be lost.

In a feat that redefines human ability, what was once considered impossible has been shattered at the London Marathon: a sub-2 hour marathon. Sabastian Sawe (Kenya) ran 42 km in 1H.59M.30S and Yomif Kejelcha (Ethiopia) finished in 1H.59M.41S. Simply insane. For decades, this was spoken of as a barrier the human body could not cross. Today, it has fallen. A reminder that limits are often self-imposed. What seems impossible today becomes possible tomorrow. That is the story of human progress.

Good Morning, Bengaluru! It’s so nice to see people send videos of Namma Metro #PurpleLine chugging along the whole stretch, while roads are choking with traffic underneath. It’s an important reminder that the answer to traffic congestion is not building more roads, but building reliable and affordable public transport infrastructure. First time in BMRCL history, services have started without formal inauguration, thanks to PM Modi and MoHUA directing BMRCL to start services without waiting for any VIP inauguration. Do share your experience & let us know how was the ride. Have a great day! #StartPurpleLine #CitizenOverVIP

Under Congress, India’s tech capital, Bengaluru, is crumbling. Just see the video below. This the state of the road leading upto a prominent school in the city - Sri Kumaran Children’s Home. Thousands of young schoolchildren use this road everyday. This is pretty much the state of most of the roads in Bengaluru. The situation is so bad and authorities are so callous that despite the school requesting the authorities to fix it, they haven’t. Now the school has requested parents to also write to municipal authorities in the hope that their collective voice may be heard and the road may be fixed.

A matter of pride as IIM Bengaluru expands its global footprint. The MoU to establish IIM Bengaluru in Indonesia marks an important milestone in India-Indonesia educational cooperation and strengthens our role as a trusted global knowledge partner.

On AIIMS Research Day 2026, Prof. (Dr.) Chandrashekhara SH from Karnataka performed a real time scan from Delhi to a patient-volunteer located over 13,000 km away at the Indian Antarctica station, Maitri, using an advanced telerobotic ultrasound system. During the demonstration, Dr Chandrashekhara & team remotely controlled a robotic arm holding an ultrasound probe, delivering expert radiological care across extreme geographical and climatic conditions. Kudos to the team of young researchers who were instrumental in making this concept a reality. AIIMS, New Delhi 🇮🇳

DCM Sri DK Shivakumar admits he has deliberately held back funds for Jayanagar! People of Jayanagar must take stock of this blatant injustice, and demand their right. While I understand Congress and DCM do not like that we keep exposing their vacuous administration, it should not result in a vengeance to deprive citizens of their rightful service. We will fight against this decision for the people of Jayanagar.

Congress, time and again, finds itself ridiculing matters of national security and the honour of our armed forces. Rahul Gandhi’s remarks trivialising Operation Sindoor and the Balakot strike, while mocking the efforts of our forces and the leadership tasked with defending India, reflect a deeply irresponsible and cynical approach to issues that demand utmost seriousness. National security is not a space for political mockery. The Prime Minister has been elected for a third term by the clear mandate of the people. It is shameful and disgraceful that the LoP Rahul Gandhi has chosen to lower the level of public discourse by insulting the PM and the citizens. At a time when the government is taking historic steps to implement the Women’s Reservation and ensure greater representation for women, the Congress continues its opposition to this progressive reform.

I sucked at Math but I was still forced to study Math. Back in college, I was interested in Chemistry and Physics along with History and Economics. Unlike now, there was no multi-disciplinary option in the Congress era that gave students the freedom to explore their area of interest. Watch.

The public spoke, and the government listened. This is how democracy should function. I thank every citizen who turned up at Lalbagh, under the leadership of 91-year-old Yellappa Reddy Sir, to oppose the 5% park diversion law. I also commend the Chief Minister for respecting public opinion and deciding to withdraw this draconian law. But the fight is not over. Until the disastrous Tunnel Road project is officially dropped, neither Lalbagh nor the ancient Peninsular Gneiss Rock is safe. Today, I argued before the Hon’ble High Court opposing the Tunnel Road project. The Court has directed the Geological Survey of India to place its report before it and fixed the next hearing for September 10. The government has also amended the Karnataka Tank Conservation Act, reducing the lake buffer zone from 30 metres to just 3 metres to facilitate the Short Tunnel project at Hebbal Lake. This amendment too must be withdrawn. Our fight to protect Bengaluru’s lakes, parks and green spaces, and for the sustainable development of our city, will continue. Thank you, Bengaluru, for standing up for your city.

This behaviour by State Bank of India Branch Manager is simply not acceptable. If you are doing customer interface work in Karnataka, especially in a sector like banking , it is important to communicate to customers in the language they know. Being adamant like this is simply not right. I have time and again raised this issue of mandatorily posting local staff or staff who know the local language in banking operations, both inside and outside Parliament. Just a few weeks ago, at a Public Accounts Committee meeting, I had raised this issue to the DFS Secretary who assured me action will be taken to follow a office notification that makes this requirement of local language knowledge compulsory. Looks like this still isn’t being enforced properly. I urge the concerned at State Bank of India to immediately implement the DFS policy that mandates local language requirement. I have spoken to concerned authorities to take action against this manager who has behaved in this manner. Banks working in Karnataka should serve customers in Kannada. Period.

Today’s citizen-led march at Lalbagh brought together Bengalureans, young and old, demanding that our green spaces are conserved and protected. Bengaluru does not require a project which comes at the cost of losing a 266-year-old Lalbagh and a 3-billion-year-old National Geological Monument. The State Government must understand this and put an end to this Tunnel Road madness. Our fight will continue until CM DK Shivakumar Government scraps the Project and withdraws the 5% Public park diversion law. #SaveLalbagh #Bengaluru

The Pink Line Metro is finally nearing its opening. This will be a big relief for Bengaluru’s commuters. Along with BDA Minister Shri Krishna Byre Gowda and MLA Shri Krishnappa, I inspected the Pink Line from Jayadeva to Kalena Agrahara and all the stations. CMRS has assured the pending safety clearances will be completed in 1-2 weeks, followed by rolling stock approval. I’ll personally follow up with the Central Government, Minister & Railway Board Chairman to ensure all approvals are secured at the earliest. Good initiatives by the government will have our 100% support. But stupid and unscientific projects like Tunnel Road will be strongly opposed. Bengaluru needs solutions, not politics. Together let’s build a better Bengaluru. ನಮ್ಮ ಮೆಟ್ರೋ

If every taxpayer can be tracked for every rupee he owes the government, why can’t the government show taxpayers where every rupee spent on roads has gone? The Government has admitted at various points that nearly ₹5,500 crore has been spent on Bengaluru’s roads. Citizens have a right to know where this money has gone and what outcomes it has delivered. My demand is simple. Within the next 30 days, the Government must launch a publicly accessible live dashboard for all road infrastructure works in Bengaluru. Every citizen should be able to see: • Which road is being worked on • The cost of the project • The contractor executing it • The officer responsible • The timeline for completion • The maintenance period • The defect liability period • The real-time status of the work This is not a difficult reform. Bengaluru is India’s technology capital. Hundreds of technology professionals would gladly volunteer their expertise to help build such a platform. Transparency creates accountability. Accountability improves quality. Quality builds public trust. ₹5,500 crore later, Bengaluru deserves answers. Build the dashboard. Put every road work online. Let citizens see where their money is going. Krishna Byre Gowda

The State Government seems convinced there is a ₹40,000 crore treasure at the end of the Tunnel Road. Nothing else explains its obsession with this stupid and unnecessary project. To facilitate the Long and Short Tunnel Roads, it weakened three important protections Bengaluru fought decades to build. First, the Parks Act was amended to allow diversion of 5% of park land. Second, the Karnataka Tank Conservation Act was amended to reduce the lake buffer from 30 metres to just 3 metres, facilitating acquisition of 3.5 acres of Hebbal Lake for the Short Tunnel. Third, Section 19 of the BMLTA Act was amended, weakening independent scientific scrutiny of these projects and undoing nearly two decades of citizen activism for coordinated urban transport planning. For two unnecessary projects, the Government has weakened protection of our parks, lakes and water security, and compromised scientific transport planning. Citizen pressure has forced a review of the Parks Act amendment. Now we must restore the Tank Conservation Act and the authority of BMLTA. Let’s do this, Bengaluru.

In 1960, South Korea’s per capita income was $94. India’s was $82. China was neck and neck with us through the 1970s, India was actually ahead of China in 1980. But today Korea is 13 times richer than us in per capita terms, China is 5 times richer, Singapore is 38 times richer. Same starting point, just one difference, they freed their people to build. But the License-Permit-Quota Raj of Congress caged our economy and wealth creators.

I was travelling on the Purple Line this evening and missed today’s disruption by just a few minutes. I spoke to several fellow commuters and shared with them that I have written to the Commissioner of Railway Safety seeking an audit into the repeated disruptions. This is reportedly the 21st service disruption since January 2024. basetmajhee must explain why this keeps happening, make public the root cause of every incident, and tell Bengaluru what corrective measures have been taken. Commuters deserve transparency, accountability and a Metro they can rely on.

Thank you, Bengaluru, for showing up in such large numbers. Today gives us hope that when you stand up for the right cause, people will stand with you. From 91-year-old Yellappa Reddy sir, who led the march, to six-month-old babies - Bengaluru came together to protect its green spaces. What a beautiful city. What wonderful people. We will continue until the government withdraws the 5% park diversion law and drops the disastrous Tunnel Road project. See you next Sunday. And every Sunday after that, at different parks across Bengaluru. We will build this into a massive people’s movement until the government listens, corrects its mistake and stops this madness. Bengaluru’s parks belong to its people. We will protect them.

From 91-year-old Yellappa Reddy sir, who led the march, to six-month-old babies - Bengaluru came together to protect its green spaces. What a beautiful city. What wonderful people. We will continue until the government withdraws the 5% park diversion law and drops the disastrous Tunnel Road project. See you next Sunday. And every Sunday after that, at different parks across Bengaluru. We will build this into a massive people’s movement until the government listens, corrects its mistake and stops this madness. Bengaluru’s parks belong to its people. We will protect them.

This morning, I visited Lalbagh, interacted with the walkers and thanked them for their support, which forced the Congress Government to withdraw the 5% public park diversion law. But this is only a temporary victory. The fight will continue until the Tunnel road project is dropped. Bengaluru needs a sustainable public transportation model. All other models and solutions for moving private vehicles will fail, become exclusionary, and lead to more private vehicles. There is an urgent need to educate the public on public transportation and its various models as solutions for traffic congestion in our cities. Watch this clip where I have a candid conversation with citizens on various aspects of urban mobility solutions for Bengaluru. Come, Bengaluru, let’s become a model for the rest of the country to follow when it comes to traffic management.

14 years ago, my journey with BJYM began in Bengaluru. Never imagined that journey would lead me to become its National President, the largest youth wing of the world’s largest political party. That is the BJP’s strength, work matters, not family. To every young Indian - Join BJYM. If you want to serve your country through politics, this is your platform. I am confident Shri Dr. Hemang Joshi (MP Vadodara) Bhai will be an even more successful Yuva Morcha President than me until his successor beats his record. My address at the Padhbhar Grahan of Shri Hemang Joshi as the National President of BJYM. BJYM

There are two political models in India. One is PM Modi's: Hope and Reform. The other is the Opposition's: Cynicism and Anarchism Whenever a crisis has emerged, PM Modi has tried to turn it into an opportunity for systemic reform. The NEET paper leak is a crisis, and the govt will ensure this crisis is turned into an opportunity to reform the education system in the country.

Appeared before the Hon’ble HC of Karnataka in the batch of PILs challenging the Tunnel Project & the challenge to Rule 24 of BMLTA Rules. The Hon’ble Chief Justice directed the State government to inform pendency of the petition to the probable/possible contractor and that no equity shall be created. The award of any contract shall also be subject to the outcome of the PIL. The earlier order against the felling of trees in Lalbagh stands reiterated. HC will finally hear the matter on 20th August.
