Truth Test in Karnataka - National farce

Truth test contested by both B S Yeddyurappa and HD Kumaraswamy is a national joke.  This shows how irresponsible Karnataka politicians can be.  When PM is working 18 hours a day, how is that Karnataka CM is able to find time to involve in such Truth tests.  As a public figure, there will be always someone in few thousands who will be dare him.  Is he going to take truth test every time someone dares him?  Then he has to find a place next to temple to save his commuting time and bunk attending his official work as CM.  On top of this, just think of the unwanted resources needed to control the crowd and provide protection during his visit to the temple all in the name of contesting with his opponents.  If he had gone to worship and offer prayers, at least it is justified.

HD Kumaraswamy's war of words and personal attacks just proves further that he has no interest in serving people.  He is only motivated in attacking CM personally instead of focusing his energy on challenging the ruling party on the right issues.  Kumaraswamy should realize his potential as the opposition party and should focus on paramount issues such as price hikes.  If he shows such maturity and plays as the right opposition party, he does not need to go around canvassing during the next election.  The people will vote him to power recognizing him by his show of maturity and his action in people's interest.

When will our politicians grow up?

Tamilnadu & Waste of money goes hand in hand!!

The new tamilnadu government of 2011 is looking at all means to waste the money and time on trivial things.  When old government is accused of leaving the treasury in deficit, the least that is expected out of the new government is prudent use of money on the right projects.  However the new government is poised to ensure whatever is remaining is burnt and disposed like a corpse.

Look at the paramount of money wasted when the secretariat is shifted back to Fort St. George. The time required on doing the changes back is unthinkable.  Next in line is the change of syllabus in the state education.  Now every parent and school is awaiting further instructions and of-course books to be finalized before the academic year can start.  Because of this delay everyone will be burdened and pressurized at the end of the academic year to complete the syllabus and recover the lost academic days.

These money & time can be spent on improving the infrastructure, be it re-laying of a small stretch of road with a good quality so that it need not be disturbed for next 5 years.  This gives immediate benefit to the people and they will be loyal to the government.  Hope this government drops the agenda marred with vengeance and picks up the one which can benefit people.

I am still hoping that the leaders will see that real success is not winning election but it is in proving to the people that their choice was worth every vote through their actions.

I admire Mamata Banerjee's simplicity and confidence, also her urge to serve the people.  May tamilnadu get such a leader in near future.

My two cents worth of thoughts on 'Rain water management and the government'

Government should lead by example on the rain water management.

Government should start with a proper plan on the rain water that goes into the drain. This means the whole thing starts on the outskirts of the city where the drain water ends and the goverment plans the right water management system in there. Then slowly move towards the heart of the city implementing and connecting the drains correctly and leading these drains into the water management system built on the outskirts.

For example: Is BANGALORE BBMP or CHENNAI METROPOLITAN WATER SUPPLY AND SEWERAGE BOARD capable of this?

If they are successful, the city water woes could be a thing of the past.

If the same is done on sewage treatment, we will have better rivers, lakes and beaches in India. Since only treated water will flow to these water bodies.

Do you like brown murky beaches or the clear blue ones?
