After formally taking charge as Bengaluru Development Minister, Krishna Byre Gowda convened a meeting of senior officials from Greater Bengaluru Area on June 16 to review the city's major challenges & discuss measures to address them. Gowda, who was sworn in as a minister on June 3, was unhappy... & initially refused to take charge after CM DK Shivakumar retained control of BDA & BMRDA.show more

"Is road construction rocket science? Why can't we build pothole-free roads?" @krishnabgowda asks officials

"Karnataka's future itself is in question without Bengaluru," says @krishnabgowda

Bengaluru Development Minister @krishnabgowda has asked GBA officials to focus on peripheral areas where roads have been dug up @GBA_office @GBAChiefComm

@krishnabgowda We have lost hope. But Top 5 issues that Sri @krishnabgowda should attend to (not in any particular order): 1. Garbage clearance 2. Illegal occupancy of government land 3. Traffic 4. Water logging 5. Road construction/repair Fix any 2 of these, we will vote you for life.

@krishnabgowda Sir Pls kickstart Land acquisition, Utilities shifting for Sarjapura Hebbal metro, Fix SH 35 East airport corridor, Sarjapura Road is left like Orphan between East and South Corp,daily pathetic jams.. please visit that road to understand pain,please need your urgent intervention.

@krishnabgowda @krishnabgowda sir, before reviewing the entire city, request you to please check the state of affairs in your own constituency behind Prolife hospital, it has become a dumping ground and for sewage disposal, barely 20 MTRS from the NH.

@krishnabgowda This city couldn't be this bad until someone is holding its development intentionally. Who is working as garbage mafia? Who is holding development of major roads. Who is that? Until unless that's stopped this filthy saga will continue

@krishnabgowda sir the biggest issue is waste management. Please put huge garbage bins for people to dispose waste and monitor it

@krishnabgowda I think we should have one minister each for potholes, footpath, white topping, sewer, water, electricity. Remember only God can save our ooru 😅

@krishnabgowda Being a person on the ground, keen to see the paradigm shift so that the city becomes a better place to live and reduce traffic congestion ! Will KBG suppport @GBAChiefComm in ensuring all basements are cleared for parking only 30% of road & footpaths will be freed up!

@krishnabgowda I would like to ask just one question to @GBAChiefComm what is the change you made after 5 GBAs please list out.

@krishnabgowda Did he get clarity on his role from Delhi High Command?

@krishnabgowda Status quo till next expansion.

@krishnabgowda Right person - after late Shree S M. K

@krishnabgowda Garbage clearance and management should be No. 1

@krishnabgowda He is surrounded by 2 of the most incompetent men, I doubt if they will understand what he conveys.

@krishnabgowda Do u think we r fools to believe that this corrupt lot of ministers and bureaucrats are going to reform Bangalore? My ASS. They r probably there to discuss how to loot tax payers and share the loot among themselves. Corruption is written all over the frame.

@krishnabgowda did good job with Rev dept earlier- digitizing ,pushed 4 citizen-friendly reforms , redressal,highly vocal abt deep-rooted dept corruption. Ppl vl miss him.. Now he vl do a good job here too..Young leaders need to be empowered.. Sr high time to retire @RahulGandhi @rssurjewala

@krishnabgowda Congratulation as people have some trust with him. He has a simple task now, instruct all wards to -collect garbage from roads 3 times a day -immediate complain resolution -cctv monitoring in spots whr garbage dumped daily in all roads & fine people heavy. - New roads across

@krishnabgowda If it changes anything ,its only signatures .

@krishnabgowda Finally.....KBG has taken up the charge.

@krishnabgowda Dumping of waste in Devarachinahalli Road, can Minister take up this issue and ask officials to make it clean. There are mountains now and huge trucks standing.

@krishnabgowda Contractor company name boards should be placed in each road !!! This will hit their branding !!!

@krishnabgowda Please bring a law which requires a approval prior to digging 🙏🏼

@krishnabgowda Don't know the jurisdiction n authority.We are concerned of damaged narrow road without footpath in many places from BAIDEHI HOSPITAL TO WHITEFIELD MAIN ROAD THROUGH BOREWELL ROAD NALURAHALI WHITEFIELD. HEAVY TRAFFIC CONGESTION N PETTY ACCIDENTS MAKES TO VENTURE OUT MISERABLE

@krishnabgowda The priorities must be: pothole-free roads; quality control and monitoring timely completion of of white-topping; footpaths; wrong side driving/riding; mandatory cleaning of roads; urgent completion of pending works!

@krishnabgowda Good minister

@krishnabgowda Doesn’t need one more meeting to know the city’s challenges. Just keep your eyes, ears and nose open to see the pathetic state of affairs. It’s an ongoing issue for decades. And one need good intentions, strong execution and zero tolerance to corruption to sort it

First order of business should be reigning in the contractors to fill all the potholes that are on major roads. 2nd should be coordinating between BWSSB, Bescom and GBA for not digging the roads at least for 2 years once it is completed. 3rd foot paths for all roads which have more than 40ft width

@krishnabgowda Let @krishnabgowda have his mail id updated as bda minister first. mails to his MLA id are bouncing back due to 'Inbox being full'. Also, @krishnabgowda speak to citizen groups directly to understand issues. speaking to @GBA_office will not help-they will only say GBA is awesome

@krishnabgowda This ministry allocation has turned into a joke Without BMRDA or BDA the job left is just monitoring/maintaining/repairs of the roads, sewage & water pipes And they tell us we are here to serve the public!

@krishnabgowda Garbage and roads no rocket science it’s needs honesty to implement both

@krishnabgowda So did he get control of BDA and BMRDA?

@krishnabgowda Not yet.

@krishnabgowda It is very clear case, DKS doesn’t want anyone to do real job In such senior positions, if they don’t trust team members, mission shall fail

@krishnabgowda So BDA & BMRDA still with CM ?

@krishnabgowda Yes

@krishnabgowda Garbage, potholes, unlimited u turns! Correct these first
