When citizens have to protest for basic roads in the world’s 6th-largest tech city, Bengaluru, something is seriously wrong with India and its polity, which keeps taking its revenue-generating engine for a ride. Dear DK Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah sirs, you hold the CM post for now, it’s time to... show more

Bengaluru East Corporation is the richest Corporation in Karnataka. Unlike previous years, when its revenue was distributed across the city, all funds generated here will now be utilized exclusively for the development of its 50 wards only: DyCM DK Shivakumar

Yesterday, DCM Shri DK Shivakumar asked me for my plan of action for Bengaluru. He has asked me for alternate solutions. In this regard, I have sought time from his office to present ideas on how Bengaluru should address its traffic congestion, among other problems. I have long advocated for sustainable solutions to fix Bengaluru issues. As a resident of this city, it’s my responsibility to support good ideas, as much as it’s my duty to oppose bandaid fixes which hardly address the core problem. Bengaluru needs bipartisan approach towards solving its long pending problems. He's a senior politician and administrator, who intends to do his best for the city. I hope this discussion helps us find sustainable solutions and work together to make Bengaluru a more liveable city while addressing its major challenges. I’ll keep you all posted how this meeting goes.

₹1.5 Lakh Crore Investment in Bengaluru Namma Bengaluru is truly a global city, built on its talent, culture, and the aspirations of its people, which is why the world is looking towards it.

If any politician claims he has visited Singapore and will make our city like London — don’t believe him. He’s not just fooling you but misleading you towards decline and degrowth.

After the swearing-in ceremony, Krishna Byre Gowda was seen walking towards Vidhana Soudha for the Cabinet meeting. KBG and Ramalinga Reddy are among the frontrunners for the Bengaluru Development portfolio, or will CM DK Shivakumar himself hold the department? Will Bengaluru, with its pleasant weather, finally get more walkable streets - not just in and around Vidhana Soudha?

People suffer for two years, then roads get tarred—only to be destroyed in 15 days. And the cycle of suffering begins again! Siddaramaiah DK Shivakumar, you can’t give us quality roads. You can’t control the loot. It’s time to resign! #BrandBengaluru

Roads in East Bengaluru still belong to the pre-1991 era — narrow cart lanes with no proper drainage. Ironically, they host some of the costliest housing projects in India. DK Shivakumar sir, we voted for you to bring a Master Plan! #BrandBengaluru

Hosa Road, after Nandhini Junction towards Electronic City in Bengaluru, has been in the same deteriorated condition for the past year. The road is riddled with massive potholes, and calling them potholes would be an understatement. These are more like craters you’d expect to find on the surface of the moon, not on a major road in one of India's largest cities. Despite Bengaluru being known for its rapid development and high-tech infrastructure, the state of this road is a glaring exception. Under the brand of the 'Bengaluru Smart City' scheme, you would expect better maintenance, yet the BBMP (Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike) seems to have no time or priority to fill these dangerous potholes. Commuters continue to face daily struggles navigating these treacherous craters, raising serious concerns about safety and infrastructure management in such a critical part of the city #Bangalore #bengaluru #BangaloreRains #potholes #electroniccity #BengaluruWeather #Bengalururain Kingroyal Giriş @BBMPAdmn ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು DK Shivakumar S.

Thank you, sir, for finally setting foot in the most neglected part of Bengaluru, Electronic City, Anekal, which has been neglected by successive governments for the past 10 years. This is an average road in and around ECity, India's first IT SEZ. Hope we see a turnaround once it becomes part of GBA. #BrandBengaluru

The Struggles of Bengaluru's Taxpayers For many Bengalureans, life is an irony. Weekdays are spent earning and paying taxes in hopes of a better quality of life, while weekends are often reserved for protests to demand the very amenities they’ve already paid for. In Mahadevapura, which contributes 25% of Bengaluru's total tax revenue, residents have taken to the streets, demanding basic infrastructure like well-maintained and spacious roads. Despite their significant contributions, their needs remain unmet, highlighting the disconnect between taxpayers and governance. The protests serve as a reminder that Bengaluru must prioritize delivering fundamental services to its citizens. #bangalore #bengaluru #protest #mahadevpura ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice @BBMPCOMM @BBMP_Cares ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru DGP KARNATAKA DK Shivakumar S.

Who am I to question the Tunnel Road project? asks DCM. Sir, I am a common Kannadiga. A Bengaluru boy who loves our city. A common man who is suffering in traffic everyday. As a Bengalurean and with deep concern for the city's future, I would urge the DCM to consult experts and transport planners before making a decision on the tunnel road, ensuring that it serves the best interests of the city. Many citizens of Bengaluru are expressing their opposition to this proposal, and the DCM asks what authority they have oppose. Let me remind - we are taxpaying citizens. Bengaluru belongs to us all. Bengaluru, once built by visionary leaders, is now facing challenges due to poor planning, and it is our collective responsibility to safeguard its future. The DCM says he wants to leave a legacy for Bengaluru. Request him to build a Bengaluru accessible to even a comman man and projects which are feasible and needed for the city.
