Here to make a difference!

A New Name. A New Charge. The Same Taxpayer Pays!

The Congress brand of governance in Karnataka has found its latest innovation: “Software Tax.”

GBA is now adding a “software charge” of ₹200 for residential properties and ₹1,000 for commercial buildings to the annually collected property tax.

What exactly are citizens paying for? Why should people separately fund the government’s software system? Where is the legal basis, cost breakup and public accountability?

Is this not another bill pushed onto taxpayers without a clear explanation? Is this not looting in broad daylight?

For @INCKarnataka and @DKShivakumar, every new excuse to generate money seems to end at the same destination: the taxpayer’s pocket.

Justify the levy or withdraw the charge!

Whats the point in boasting about 7+% GDP growth when basic protection gears are not provided for drain cleaners. This pic from 31st august 2026 at Kundalahalli, Bengaluru. @narendramodi @PMOIndia @krishnabgowda @GBA_office . Nothing matters until quality of life improves.

Thanks to visionary thinking of @nitin_gadkari and @PMOIndia , my tata car is now giving just 6 mileage in city. During non e20 days it used to give 9 to 10. Appreciate the resolve to help farmers at cost of middle class. #E20

@dpradhanbjp @narendramodi First have some shame and resign by yourself.

[Santosh @santoshbr4]

@FI_InvestIndia Doesn't matter. First sack @dpradhanbjp

[Santosh @santoshbr4]

@narendramodi @BJP4India you guys have lost faith. Instead of 1 simple action of removing @dpradhanbjp you are risking the entire party and trust. Show some accountability. Changing officers, fast track courts etc won't matter. #CJPProtest @Wangchuk66

[Santosh @santoshbr4]

@AmitShah @BJP4India @JPNadda #cjp @dpradhanbjp should resign now atleast. There has to be some accountability for NEET paper leak.

[Sonam Wangchuk @Wangchuk66]

I’m Not in good shape but not so bad either...
Rather than asking me to break my fast please join me on 20th July... Peaceful March to the Parliament.

[Santosh @santoshbr4]

@dpradhanbjp should resign on his own if there is any shame left. @BJP4India
@narendramodi @AmitShah Remember arrogance costed you majority in 2024 elections. Hope Sonam Wangchuk will end fast soon with results on ground @Wangchuk66

🚶 BENGALURU'S FOOTPATHS ARE GETTING THEIR SPACE BACK

From July 1–10, the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) is running a 'Safe Footpath Campaign' across 1,000 km of road network — clearing encroachments from footpaths in all five city corporations.

📊 WHY THIS MATTERS

30% of every 1,000 road accident deaths in Bengaluru are pedestrians. The Supreme Court has been clear: walking on a footpath safely is a fundamental right, not a privilege.

🚫 WHAT'S BEING CLEARED
➡Illegal parking on footpaths (vehicles will be towed)
➡Name boards, chairs, tables, and kiosks blocking pedestrian paths
➡Vendors and shops spilling onto walkways

✅ HOW IT'S BEING DONE
➡Notices will be issued before any action — not a sudden crackdown
➡Action will follow the Street Vendors' Protection Act and SC guidelines
➡Municipal officers, police, and clearance teams will coordinate
➡Damaged slabs and kerbs will be repaired alongside clearance

It follows the #1KmChallenge encouraging people to walk short distances instead of driving — Bengaluru is trying to become more walkable, one footpath at a time.

🗣️ WE NEED YOUR EYES ON THE GROUND

Let's make Bengaluru's footpaths walkable again — together.

@krishnabgowda Whole heartedly appreciate the efforts by you Mr. @krishnabgowda . Vendors who occupied footpath for years in Kundalahalli Colony area have been cleared in such a short time. Real impact seen on streets.

@sudhakar10 Same here

"Do i have a flower in my ear? What's this magic? How are lakhs of street dogs sterilised but the population remains the same, people are dying, you are playing the fool, how do u come to a meeting without data, relieve him" Minister KBG loses cool at animal husbandry official.

@vinaysreeni @krishnabgowda @aicctukar @clifroz @RahulGandhi @samar11 @LeftOfChordRoad @lekhaadavi @harishupadhya @mondalsudipto @anusharavi10 @Sowmyareddyr Stop this drama. In many areas street vendors completely block footpath making it inaccessible to public from using it. Ppl like you are the reason for anarchy in our country.
