These 60–70-year-old uncles should be teaching people not to litter at railway stations. Instead, they litter them themselves.

Then they act like, "We've littered. Now do whatever you can."

Some Indians are just unbelievable.

Anand Ranganathan just completely dismantled the government's mandatory E20 fuel obsession, and every single vehicle owner needs to hear this. 🚨

We are constantly sold the narrative that 20% Ethanol blending is a massive economic masterstroke.

But here is the actual reality check for the consumer:

👉 The Mileage Drop: Ethanol has lower energy density than pure petrol. You are literally paying the exact same price for less power and lower mileage.

👉 The Engine Killer: Forcing E20 into older, non compliant engines causes severe corrosion and mechanical breakdown. The government hits its target, but you pay the massive repair bills.

👉 Coercion Over Choice: A free market thrives on options. Instead of offering E20 as a choice at the pump, it is being shoved down our fuel tanks via a mandatory backdoor tax on efficiency.

Economic progress requires choice, not state coercion.

Watch @ARanganathan72 lay down the absolute scientific facts on why the hidden costs of E20 far outweigh the hyped benefits. 👇

@krishnabgowda Excellent work Sir. Should be implemented entire state.

Bengaluru: Karnataka CM DK Shivakumar said that the government will bring a new footpath policy to ensure clear pedestrian access and impose fines up to Rs 1 lakh on illegal flex banners

"I have agreed that a new policy should be brought for footpaths. Citizens are facing a lot of trouble walking on footpaths. We have made footpaths after investing heavily, but vehicles are parked there, and business is being carried out. We must fix specific places for vendors and create an opportunity to keep footpaths clean for citizens to walk... That is why we have decided to bring a new policy for footpaths."

On the issue of illegal flex banners, he said, "No matter how much we say, flex banners keep coming up. All parties put them up; our party people also do. Everyone puts up flexes. The name of whoever is at the bottom will be fined. We have said that a fine of ₹50,000 to ₹1 lakh will be imposed for each flex. Because this flex business has become excessive. Birthday wishes, all that. If the government has something, there is a streamlined system for it. There is an advertisement board. Anyone can take that and do it. Apart from that, there is no permission to put up banners anywhere else."

If this man continues with the kind of genuine efforts he has shown on the ground, I will have no option but to vote for Congress in the next State election, even though my political beliefs are not aligned with his party's.

Bangalore has not seen good governance in over a decade now. I hope there will be visible change with him at the helm.

How many times should taxpayers pay for the same road ?

Just 2–3 months after patchwork was carried out, the asphalt has already deteriorated to the point where it’s difficult to even tell that repairs were done.

When we spoke to the engineer, we were informed that the earlier work was carried out by BWSSB, and because of poor quality, a fresh estimate is now being considered to repair the same stretch again.

This raises some important questions, not just for one road, one constituency, or one department, but the entire city.

If public money has already been spent once, who is accountable when the work fails within a matter of months?

Was the restoration inspected before being accepted? Have we our such contractor?

Does the contractor have a defect liability period or maintenance obligation, and if so, why should taxpayers pay again instead of enforcing those contractual obligations?

How much of Bengaluru’s infrastructure budget is being spent on redoing work that should have lasted much longer?

This isn’t about targeting any individual or political party. It’s about demanding transparency, quality, and accountability in the use of PUBLIC funds.

Every rupee spent comes from the people. Every failed project deserves EXPLANATION. Every contractor and every department responsible for public works should be held to the same standard. @GBAChiefComm @krishnabgowda

Bengaluru deserves roads that last not roads that become recurring EXPENSES every few months.

We urge the concerned authorities to clarify:
• Who executed the original restoration?
• What quality checks were conducted?
• Will the contractor be held accountable if the work failed prematurely?
• What safeguards are in place to prevent taxpayers from paying twice for the same POOR WORK?

Let’s make accountability the standard, not the exception.

Dear Supreme Court of India,

140 crore Indians are busy earning money and taking care of their families. They do not have the time, money or power to fight the Government. That is why people look towards the Supreme Court for justice.

Please do not wait until it is too late.

Every day E20 petrol is being promoted across the country. People are told it is completely safe. Ministers openly say, "Show me one vehicle anywhere in the world that had problems because of E20." But in the Supreme Court, the Government says E20 is still under study and the final results will come next year.

How can both be true?

If the study is not over, why is E20 being pushed on the whole country?

If everything is already proved, why tell the Supreme Court that the study is still going on?

Why are people not given the choice to buy normal petrol?

Why should 140 crore Indians become part of something that is still being studied?

The Government has all the power. People cannot leave their jobs, spend years in court and fight the Government. That is why the Supreme Court was made, to protect the common people when nobody else can.

Please ask one simple question.

If E20 is still under study, why is it being forced on the people?

Indian citizens are not for testing. Our vehicles, our hard earned money and our daily lives should not be put at risk without giving us a choice.

Manya @krishnabgowda avare
This is exactly what is wrong with road maintenance in Bengaluru.

A citizen reports a problem. A contractor is sent. A patch is laid. A photo is posted. Everyone moves on.

This patch is uneven, poorly finished and unlikely to last. If this is the benchmark being proudly shared by the Bengaluru South City Corporation, we have a much bigger problem than potholes.

Bengalurians need permanent solution not patch work

Shocking: A news reporter from Tata Nagar, Jamshedpur (channel unknown), was seen littering in broad daylight. When confronted by an NGO that works tirelessly around the clock to keep the streets clean, he offered these excuses. Can we track him down and make him issue a public apology? I’ve always said civic sense isn’t determined by education. This behavior is utterly shameless.
