The former info financial director Mohandas Pai, put the deputy minister in chief of Karnataka, DK Shivakumar, by questioning the treatment by the government of infrastructure and public transportation problems by the government.
In an article on X (formerly Twitter), Pai criticized Shivakumar for making ads of major projects without tackling the city’s aggravation conditions.
“Minister @Dkshivakumar, you have become our minister for 2 years! We applauded you and welcomed as a strong minister. But our lives have become much worse! Large projects announced! Will take a long time and delayed because Govt has not finished any project in the city in time! “Pai wrote.
He urged Shivakumar to prioritize immediate improvements, asking: “Why can’t you ensure a city accessible on foot on your own urgently, with good trails? Why can’t you buy 5,000 new EV buses to improve public transport? »»
Pai also criticized delays in the Metro project, wondering why the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) did not work 24 hours a day to finish the work pending. “PL focuses on this and improves our lives. It is worse day by day, “he said, adding that the recent hike in metro prices, which would have led to a drop in a shuttle lakh, was another example of mismanagement.
His remarks came in response to a shivakumar position, which had shared details on the inauguration of the Namma Raste campaign, aimed at promoting the streets suitable for pedestrians, bicycle tracks and green spaces in Bengaluru.
While the assistant CM welcomed the initiative as a step towards “the construction of the Bengaluru brand”, the frustration of Pai stressed the growing dissatisfaction of citizens about the infrastructure and governance of the city.
