T-MINUS 13.
One step forward, three steps back. ☹️
Just when there was some progress, another stockpile of pipes has been unloaded on the pavement.
The earlier pipes were cleared only recently. Now new pipes have been dumped again on the same footpaths where pedestrians are already struggling to walk.
This is dangerous and unacceptable!
BWSSB must complete this work in one go instead of doing it in instalments and making citizens suffer again and again.
Dear BWSSB Chairman avare, @bwssbchairman
Please look into this immediately and ensure the pending work is completed without further delay.
Dear Chief Commissioner avare,
You have promised Bengaluru a June 20th deadline.
Please ensure it is honoured.
Bannerghatta Road cannot keep waiting.
@GBAChiefComm@GBA_office
We will keep watching. We will keep reminding. We will keep fighting till the entire road is fully restored.
One road. One promise. One deadline. 💪🏼

T-MINUS 15.
No change from yesterday again. Frustrating. ☹️
The pipes have been laid underground, but nothing else has moved. The work has clearly slowed down.
Bannerghatta Road still needs urgent repair. The potholes now look like craters. Residents, students, pedestrians, and commuters continue to suffer on a road that is in tatters.
Dear Chief Commissioner avare,
You had promised a June 20th deadline.
We are now almost there, and it is becoming clear that this road will not be ready by that date unless work moves at a war footing immediately.
This delay is unacceptable.
Bannerghatta Road needs urgent asphalting, proper restoration, and full accountability.
@GBAChiefComm@GBA_office
We will keep watching. We will keep reminding. We will keep fighting till the road is fully restored.
One road. One promise. One deadline.

ಕಳೆದ 5 ವರ್ಷಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ರಾಜಕಾಲುವೆಗಳ (Storm Water Drains) ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಗಾಗಿ ಬರೋಬ್ಬರಿ ₹4,500 - 5,000 ಕೋಟಿ ರೂಪಾಯಿ ಖರ್ಚು ಮಾಡಲಾಗಿದೆ!
ಆದರೂ, ಕೇವಲ ಕೆಲವೇ ಗಂಟೆಗಳ ಮಳೆಗೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗಿ ಮುಳುಗಿಹೋಗುತ್ತದೆ.
ಹಾಗಾದರೆ, ರಾಜಕಾಲುವೆಗಳು ನಿಜವಾಗಿಯೂ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣವಾಗಿವೆಯೇ? ಹಣ ಎಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಹೋಯಿತು?

₹4,500-5,000 crore spent on storm water drains in the last 5 years.
Yet, the city floods within hours of rain.
Were the drains really built?
Where did the money go?
We're asking. #LekkaBeku

Met Karnataka's Chief Electoral Officer, Mr. Anbukkumar IAS, to submit our proposal for "Sectioning" of Bengaluru's electoral rolls.
In one apartment we studied, only 65% of the 108 registered voters still lived there. The rest had moved out, yet remained on the rolls.
33 years ago today, the 74th Constitutional Amendment came into force.
Yet in 2026:
❌ Urban local body elections are delayed
❌ Mayors remain weak
❌ Municipal functions are not fully devolved
❌ City governments lack accountability & authority
“Rushing such a massive restructuring of India’s democracy without transparency or consultation is deeply suspicious and unacceptable.” — @DKShivakumar
What about Bengaluru? ಇದೇ ಮಾತು ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿಗೂ ಅನ್ವಯಿಸಬೇಕು ಅಲ್ಲವೇ @DKShivakumar ಅವರೇ? You delayed elections for 5 years in the name of delimitation from 198 to 243 to now 369 wards. Even after redrawing the wards, there is still no logic or transparency. The city’s delimitation was rushed without proper consultation. Ward sizes are not uniform, seats are not based on revenue share. Bengaluru has just been broken down without any clear reasoning.
Bengaluru deserves transparency, free, fair and timely elections. ಬೆಂಗಳೂರನ್ನೂ ಗಮನಿಸಿ.

Do you track the quantity of wet and dry waste your home generates?
Most people don’t.
But now, without that data, you can’t even pay property tax. Policy without practicality is just paper.
And governance is going in circles. BSWML was created to manage waste, and now corporations want to take these powers back, citing inefficiency. If it can’t do the job, why was it created? @GBA_office@NammaBNP has been advocating for reversal of the SWM user fee, to be reintroduced only after proper consultation with citizens, RWAs, and experts.

Today's Headline: Rs. 179 crore K-100 waterway in Bengaluru turns cesspool, residents flag stench, mosquito menace
When the focus is on optics without addressing the fundamentals, this is what happens.
The drain system should have been fixed before starting the project.
This is exactly why Bengaluru needs elected ward representatives and not agencies that trade blame with zero accountability.

Everyone wants to change India.
Very few want to fix their ward, their neighbourhood.
Thank you to Swarajya for asking the right question:
Can you change India, one pothole at a time?
If we don’t take municipal elections seriously, we don’t take governance seriously.
🗳️ Bengaluru is heading for its biggest civic reset in decades.
With 369 new wards & GBA elections due by June 30,m, the city finally gets elected councillors after 5+ years.
In collaboration with Insider Opinion, we speak to Srikanth Narasimhan, founder of Bengaluru Navanirmana Party, on whether a “political startup” can bring reforms to Bengaluru’s stalled civic governance.

This corner of Green Glen Layout between Sobha Carnation, Primrose & Mayflower has had a broken footpath for over a decade. Now with a paan shop & raddiwala, it’s filthy, smoky & unsafe — storm drain covers misaligned by 10 cm. Elderly & kids at risk. Will it take a death to act?
