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 This amendment too must be withdrawn.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.
Millions of books were burned by Islamic invaders, many Gurukulas and libraries were destroyed.
Books that were much better than Quran in every aspect, composed over centuries, full of wisdom and knowledge, all burned down by barbaric Islamic criminals like Khilji.
To the man whose screen presence is timeless and whose heart is even more special…❤️
Happy Birthday to our beloved @KicchaSudeep
Wishing you endless happiness, good health, success and many more beautiful milestones.

I sincerely commend the Chief Minister for this decision.
Governments earn the respect of citizens when they defer to the will of the people. Well done, sir.
For me, this has never been a political fight. It has always been about doing what is right for Bengaluru.
In the same spirit, I respectfully request you to now drop the unscientific and unnecessary tunnel road project - the very reason the amendment to the Parks Act was brought in the first place.
Let us put Bengaluru first.

The ODI series could comprise 4-6 matches leading up to the World Cup. (Express Sports).
Still so glad to know that those Bigg Boss Season 7 memories are remembered and cherished ♥️
Thank you for the kind words, @KicchaSudeep Sir. Truly means a lot. Wishing you a very Happy Birthday! 🎂✨

The Tunnel Road has now become a “women empowerment” project!
The Chief Minister has asked women entrepreneurs to support it.
Perhaps he could begin women’s empowerment by giving at least one woman a seat in his own Cabinet.
Every week, there is a new justification for this stupid project.
First, it was a matrimonial project: Bengaluru needs more roads and cars because apparently men without cars won’t get brides.
Now, it is women’s empowerment.
What next? National security? Build the tunnel so state secrets can be transported underground?
The desperation to invent new reasons to justify a bad project is becoming more entertaining than the project itself.

Royalty, power, and unmatched aura @KicchaSudeep carried it perfectly

ನಿನ್ನೆ ರಾತ್ರಿ ಹೈದರಾಬಾದಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಈ ಜೋಡಿ ಜೊತೆ ಕಳೆದ ಸಮಯ ನಿಜಕ್ಕೂ ಮರೆಯಲಾಗದ್ದು! ರಾತ್ರಿ 2 ಗಂಟೆಯವರೆಗೂ ಮಾತು, ನಗು, ಆತ್ಮೀಯತೆ ಮತ್ತು ಊಟ... ಸಮಯ ನಿಂತಿತೋ, ನಾವೇ ಸಮಯ ಮರೆತೆವೋ ಗೊತ್ತಾಗಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಅದೆಷ್ಟೋ ವಿಷಯಗಳು, ಹೊಸ ದೃಷ್ಟಿಕೋನಗಳು ಸಮಯವನ್ನು ಸಾರ್ಥಕವಾಗಿಸಿದವು.
ಹೋಗಿದ್ದು ಜನ್ಮದಿನದ ಸಂಭ್ರಮಕ್ಕೆ…
ದಕ್ಕಿದ್ದು ಜೀವಮಾನವಿಡೀ ಉಳಿಯುವ ನೆನಪು.
ನಿಮ್ಮ
