This is how techies are traveling in Bengaluru! 🏍️💻
Riding through narrow, broken alleys!
If you give such physical hardship to coders, the code will surely be sharp! 😅
Thank you @siddaramaiah @DKShivakumar @MALimbavali, at this rate, Bengaluru will move from 6th to 1st place among global tech cities!

> Paid 30% income tax on salary
> Paid 30–40% tax on Vehicle
> Paid 18% GST on insurance
> Paid up to 60% tax on fuel

After paying all this, We are being forced to walk through this road in Mumbai

Where is our tax money going?

Year : 2025

🇮🇳 India: 54 Lakh foreign tourists

🇻🇳Vietnam: 1 Crore 54 lakh foreign tourists.

India is 10 times as big as Vietnam & yet millions behind in foreign tourists.

What is suddenly stopping foreigners from touring India?

Dear @nitin_gadkari

We need a public website that shows:

> Which contractor built road
> Which babu approved it
> Total cost & ministers involved
> Firm responsible for maintenance

Contractors are becoming billionaires while people die on roads

Bring real accountability now!

What are all these trucks doing at 830am on ORR ramamurthynagar to marathahalli ?

[Whitefield Rising @WFRising]

Despite orders they themselves have given @blrcitytraffic refuses to ensure HMV don’t get on the road on the ORR.

Why @DCPTrEastBCP ?

Not a single metro city in this country is livable.

At least 10 people lost their lives due to electrocution in Kolkata because of flooding.

As usual, no one will be punished. No one will be held accountable.

Whenever the Modi govt announces a major decision, it should gather all its MPs and give them a clear, simple briefing, explained like to a 5th grader, on its provisions and benefits, so that they can communicate it to people correctly.

Otherwise, this will be the outcome:

Next time you see a pothole, remember this name: Manoj Wadhwah

In 2014, his bike hit one. His 3-year-old child died. His wife barely kept her legs.

11 years have passed. No punishment. No justice.

While culprits enjoy comfort, one family lost everything due to ONE pothole.

The push for Swadeshi must begin from the top. For it to have any meaning on the ground.

Govt cars to clothes - everything.

Our netas today love to sport their LV & Gucci atop their fancy Range Rovers.

Talk of swadeshi is a bit rich coming from them.

[Pulse of the People @CitizenPulseX]

A #Bengaluru techie’s #Reddit post has once again highlighted the city’s chronic traffic problem—but this time, with a fresh perspective.

His daily 14 km commute from #JPNagar to the #ORR stretches to 90 minutes each way, turning what should be a 30-minute journey into a productivity nightmare. Earning ₹28 lakh annually (excluding RSUs), he calculates that between ₹6.5 lakh in income tax and ₹1.4 lakh in GST, plus 2.5 months stuck in traffic, nearly six months of his year are lost to both visible and invisible taxes.
In a city that powers India’s digital economy, this ‘hidden tax’ on time and efficiency is a serious cost to both professionals and the economy. #BengaluruTraffic #HiddenTax #ProductivityLoss #UrbanChallenge

Dear @DKShivakumar ji,

Laying few inches of tar on potholes which will come off in the next rain or with heavy vehicles is not a lasting solution. Good for Politics but not for Spine of Riders.

Tax paying citizens of Bangalore deserve better sir 🙏🙏🙏

#FI

[Fundamental Investor ™ 🇮🇳 @FI_InvestIndia]

As on Sep 14th, Deputy CM @DKShivakumar ji allocated ₹1100 Crore for road repairs, including potholes, resurfacing, drainage, etc.

On Sep 20th - 21st, an additional ₹750 Cr was allocated for pothole related expenses.

Number of Potholes Identified: 14,795 (official count)

So conservatively, if we take ₹750 Cr to work on around 14795 official potholes, it comes to around ₹500,000 per pothole.

The way it is getting filled with tar quickly, it shouldn't be more than ₹5000 per pothole.

This is tax payers money to give a good road to the same tax payers. To save our Spine.

My question is:

- What is the breakup for every pothole?
- Why is ₹5 Lakh being allocated for every pothole when it is clearly not spent?
- Why are we just putting few inches tar, while it should be done better?

Bengaluru deserves these answers 🙏🙏🙏 Tax payers deserve better please...

On behalf of everyone with a spine which can go bad on Potholes,
#FI

After historic GST reforms, even Lord Indra has been brought under the tax net.

Now when it rains, you get ₹25 Rain Fee + 18% GST = ₹29.50 😂

Shocking: Modi’s “private” PM-CARES Fund collected ₹30,000 crores ($3.4 billion) in just 3 years

In 2020, PM Modi announced his “PM CARES” Fund. The fund uses a website with a .gov domain & the national Emblem of India.

Despite this, when RTIs were filed, PM CARES claimed it was a “private fund” & not a govt entity.

Shockingly, PM CARES STOPPED publishing their account statements from 2023 (last 2 years).

Now, using their own annual reports, PM CARES has received ₹30,000 crores ($3.4 billion) between 2020-2023.

Just to give you a perspective, the amount received by PM CARES Fund in 3 years can

👉 fund 20 new AIIMS hospitals

👉 provide 1 Covid vaccine dose to ALL Indians (and still be left with ₹10,000 crores balance)

Now consider this:

👉 Modi Govt borrowed ₹27,000 crores from foreign banks to pay for Covid-19 vaccination in India. This was IN ADDITION to money spent from our Budget

👉 The people of India are paying an annual interest of ₹1,500 crores on these foreign loans (EXCLUDING repayment of the actual amount)

The question therefore is:

👉 WHY did the Modi Govt take foreign loans of ₹27,000 crores for Covid vaccines when PM CARES had ₹30,000 crores in its balance?

It is also unclear how much money PM CARES has received in the last 2 years.

Based on previous receipts, it can be safely assumed that PM CARES received ₹50,000 crores between 2020 till date.

It is shocking that a ₹50,000 crore fund started by PM Modi which uses a govt website & national emblem is classified as a PRIVATE FUND.

WHY DOES MODI NEED A ₹50,000 crore PRIVATE FUND?
