What s lovely site. Bangalore is blessed with many lakes. Hope @GBA_office can revive them. Should also have options for people to spend their evenings including boating, coffee shops etc.

Rare slice of nature in #Bengaluru 👇

The rejuvenated #Ulsoor #Lake put on a spectacular show this morning, with flocks of birds returning to its freshly desilted waters. Recently drained out, the lake is now buzzing with life.

I am a fan of Swamiji. Look at the way he speaks, what clarity, diction and calmness. My wife is from Chitrapur Matt and we had the honour of welcoming Swamiji at her house a few years back. Congratulations to you @ShivAroor

“Abandoned vehicles have become an 'eyesore',obstructing public spaces in Bengaluru.

July 10th will be the deadline to remove them.”

- Karnataka Minister Krishna Byre Gowda

[ನಿರಂಜನ ರಾಜ್ ಅರಸ್ । Niranjan Raj Urs C G @NiranjanC70085]

I’ve spent more than 20 years in Malleswara and did all my schooling and college here. It’s got an absolute great vibe that I haven't experienced in any other part of the city! However, what I dislike most about Malleswara is the roadside vendors. They occupy almost 80% of the footpath space. There's no space for pedestrians to walk.

What I've observed is that while physical shops have almost no customers, street vendors are raking in all the moolah. Do they pay taxes? Nope! It’s time for the GBA to relocate them to a dedicated complex so we can reclaim pedestrian space. This isn't about spoiling their livelihood, but about being organized and making our city roads better.

What a refreshing change. We are quite hopeful that the new generation of politicians will work towards progress, irrespective of the part their political ideology @Tejasvi_Surya @krishnabgowda

[Tejasvi Surya @Tejasvi_Surya]

Met Bengaluru Development Minister Shri @krishnabgowda today and congratulated him on his new responsibility.

We discussed key issues concerning Bengaluru’s development. I assured him of my full support for all policies that improve the lives of Bengaluru’s citizens. The city’s challenges require cooperation beyond party lines, and I am hopeful there will be many areas where we can work together.

Tomorrow, I will address a detailed press conference on the proposals and suggestions I have submitted for Bengaluru’s development.

[Biju Nambiar @Nambiar2012]

I am happy that atleast there is one minister who is thinking like a common man. Why the hell does one waste money like this. These guys should be crucified.

[Deepak Bopanna @dpkBopanna]

"Why did u whitetop a road when you knew a flyover was going to be built there. Do the white topping, cut it open, waste it & then build a flyover again?" : Minister Krishna Byre Gowda pulls up and official during a GBA meeting today.

[Biju Nambiar @Nambiar2012]

GBA needs to first find vendor zones, issue licenses and then declare a war in those who put up their stalls on pavments. Enough is enough. Citizens need their space back.

[Aarthi Iyengar @ThatsAarthi]

Thank you. This is inner ring road, coming from Indiranagar to Koramangala on a weekday. Street hawkers have taken up the side lane + the pavement on both sides of ring road. This not only obstructs the pavement, but also causes so much traffic. As if the road works and flyover construction isn't causing enough chaos, we have guys selling t shirts and omelettes on the ring road? What is stopping them from setting up a stall outside safina plaza or outside empire to sell their stuff? And why is @BlrCityPolice @blrcitytraffic allowing this?

[Biju Nambiar @Nambiar2012]

Privatise City Administration. We are done with the Govt officials handling it.

[Shilpa @shilpa_cn]

“Our politicians don’t understand Bengaluru.

A 1.3 km flyover that could’ve taken the govt three years was built by a private developer for free in just 8 months.. from design to completion.

The real problem isn’t capability. It’s bureaucracy.” 🔥

[Biju Nambiar @Nambiar2012]

Th unending cycle of corruption. The world is working on AI and robotics. Here we are struggling with just a basic Road.

[Fundamental Investor ™ 🇮🇳 @FI_InvestIndia]

Whitefield in Bengaluru has 4.5 Lakh Residents (most of them working in IT, earning well & paying Income Tax).

Around 6000 - 8000 Crore of Income Tax is collected every year from them alone.

They do not deserve this !

[Biju Nambiar @Nambiar2012]

Pls sack a few officials. Make it an example. The entire Bangalore will vote you for the next CM.

[Krishna Byre Gowda @krishnabgowda]

I really hope I don’t have to do this frequently. But, if officers and contractors do not listen and do their job, unfortunately, I will be forced. I appeal to them to do their job properly.
Today, I happened to observe an asphalt work in progress. I was doubtful of the quality. I asked the Commissioner to inspect this asphalt work. Indeed, the work was found to be substandard. Sadly, officer is suspended and contractor penalised.

ನಾನು ಆಗಾಗ್ಗೆ ಹೀಗೆ ಮಾಡಬೇಕಾಗಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ನಾನು ನಿಜವಾಗಿಯೂ ಭಾವಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ. ಆದರೆ, ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಗುತ್ತಿಗೆದಾರರು ತಮ್ಮ ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನು ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ನಿರ್ವಹಿಸದಿದ್ದಾಗ ಮಾತ್ರ ನಾನು ಇಂತಹ ಕಠಿಣ ಕ್ರಮಗಳನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಅವರು ತಮ್ಮ ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನು ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ಮಾಡುವಂತೆ ನಾನು ಮನವಿ ಮಾಡುತ್ತೇನೆ.

ಇಂದು, ನಾನು ಡಾಂಬರೀಕರಣದ ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನು ಗಮನಿಸಿದೆ. ಗುಣಮಟ್ಟದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ನನಗೆ ಸಂದೇಹವಿತ್ತು. ಈ ಡಾಂಬರು ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನು ಪರಿಶೀಲಿಸಲು ನಾನು ಆಯುಕ್ತರನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿದೆ. ವಾಸ್ತವವಾಗಿ, ಕೆಲಸವು ಕಳಪೆ ಗುಣಮಟ್ಟದ್ದಾಗಿರುವುದು ಕಂಡುಬಂದಿದೆ. ಪರಿಣಾಮ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಯನ್ನು ಅಮಾನತುಗೊಳಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ ಮತ್ತು ಗುತ್ತಿಗೆದಾರರಿಗೆ ದಂಡ ವಿಧಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ.

Pls privatise Road construction and maintenance, including footpath, streetlights, gardens etc. Give it to bigger firms like L&T, bring in Corporate firms to sponsor. Roads managed by @BLRAirport is aliving example. It matches the best in the world. @krishnabgowda

₹ 2000 CR approved for internal road asphalting in #Bengaluru.

The Government has taken a fast and major decision to invest ₹ 2000 Cr to improve the local/ward level internal roads of Bengaluru. Entire major roads are taken up under different programs, Government felt the urgent need to improve local roads. In response to demands from MLA and public, the government has made a swift decision to make this major investment to improve road infrastructure.

Government has also given permission to call short term tenders to expedite the implementation. The funds are allocated to all constituencies irrespective of the Party of MLAs.

ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರದ ವಾರ್ಡ್ ಹಾಗೂ ಸ್ಥಳೀಯ ಮಟ್ಟದ ಒಳರಸ್ತೆಗಳ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಗಾಗಿ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಸರ್ಕಾರವು ₹2,000 ಕೋಟಿ ಹೂಡಿಕೆ ಮಾಡಲು ಮಹತ್ವದ ಹಾಗೂ ತ್ವರಿತ ನಿರ್ಧಾರ ಕೈಗೊಂಡಿದೆ.

ನಗರದ ಪ್ರಮುಖ ರಸ್ತೆಗಳನ್ನು ವಿವಿಧ ಯೋಜನೆಗಳಡಿ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಪಡಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತಿರುವ ಹಿನ್ನೆಲೆ, ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕರ ದೈನಂದಿನ ಸಂಚಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಅಗತ್ಯವಾಗಿರುವ ಒಳರಸ್ತೆಗಳ ಸುಧಾರಣೆಯ ತುರ್ತು ಅಗತ್ಯವನ್ನು ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಮನಗಂಡಿದೆ.

ಶಾಸಕರು ಹಾಗೂ ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕರಿಂದ ಬಂದಿರುವ ಬೇಡಿಕೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಸ್ಪಂದಿಸಿ ಈ ಮಹತ್ವದ ಅನುದಾನವನ್ನು ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಮಂಜೂರು ಮಾಡಿದೆ. ಕಾಮಗಾರಿಗಳನ್ನು ಶೀಘ್ರವಾಗಿ ಆರಂಭಿಸಿ ಪೂರ್ಣಗೊಳಿಸುವ ಉದ್ದೇಶದಿಂದ ಅಲ್ಪಾವಧಿಯ ಟೆಂಡರ್‌ಗಳನ್ನು ಕರೆಯಲು ಸಹ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಅನುಮತಿ ನೀಡಿದೆ.

ಯಾವುದೇ ಪಕ್ಷಭೇದವಿಲ್ಲದೆ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ವಿಧಾನಸಭಾ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರಗಳಿಗೆ ಅನುದಾನ ಹಂಚಿಕೆ ಮಾಡಲಾಗಿದ್ದು, ನಗರದ ಸಮಗ್ರ ಮತ್ತು ಸಮಾನ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಗೆ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಬದ್ಧವಾಗಿದೆ.

Why are you sounding too comical nowadays @sagarikaghose

[Sagarika Ghose @sagarikaghose]

The differences ARE CLEAR:
*The symbol is DIFFERENT.
*The name is DIFFERENT.
*The @AITCofficial is led by @MamataOfficial and stands with the INDIA alliance.
*The TRAITORS stand with @BJP4India and are led by @narendramodi.
One chose the people’s mandate. The other chose BETRAYAL OF THE PEOPLE. Voters know the difference between someone who built a REAL PARTY and those who can only hide behind a BJP-created SHELL PARTY.

[Biju Nambiar @Nambiar2012]

@narendramodi Ji, pls REVAMP Urban Infra and Tourism. Put someone capable on top to drive, similar to @NandanNilekani was for Aadhar rollout. Will transform the lives of people across the country. 1 Trillion opportunity.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

A Government for the middle class…

It is the NDA Government’s privilege to be working towards fulfilling the aspirations of our middle class. They have contributed to nation-building in countless ways.

Over the last decade, governance has increasingly focused on improving the quality of life of ordinary citizens. Our efforts are about easier access to opportunities, better infrastructure, improved public services, affordable healthcare, quality education, cleaner cities and reduced burdens in everyday life.

You forgot the few Zudio Stores and Star Bazzar outlets. Shameless people. You drove away Tata Nano, after they built a goddamn factory! You have literally clipped the wings of WB and its people.

[Biju Nambiar @Nambiar2012]

@narendramodi Sir,two areas need urgent attention
1. Tourism : Huge potential for jobs, revenue and GDP. 1 trillion dollar scope
2. Urban infra : Need reforms. The current systems are not working. Except for a few, most of urban India is in misery.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Chaired a meeting of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister. Deliberated on a wide range of issues relating to India’s economic transformation and long-term development priorities. Also shared perspectives on adding more momentum to the reforms journey and ensuring ‘Ease of Living’ as well as ‘Ease of Doing Business.’
