ORR was a major lost opportunity. One more is BETL. The medians along NICE road can be of use. the IR network within city remains under utilized. In a sense all the easy pickings have already been taken. hard work here on. there is no city planner & no traffic engineer beyond those that sit in d...

agree with theo. eventually dense rail based service has to be the core of mass transit. the basic issue is establishing right of way. Luxury buses are a distraction, they still compete for right of way with general traffic. bulk of the cost is in establishing RoW. might as well, maximize capacity p...

why? siddaramiah has his own networks. nothing when compared to revanna led ministry for jds and dk shivakumar led ministry for congress. but significant enough. there are simple examples like the chamalapura thermal plant that show that whatever his other dealings may be, siddaramiah has his ears t...

i think the main reason bhajpa came to power last time around in ka was the because of sympathy factor. the brazen way in which kumaraswamy ditched bhajpa, created a statewide sympathy for them. other wise, for bulk of the state bhajpa type issues are non-issues. another factor is fragmentation of t...

he is from the kuruba caste. career politician. pushing 70s. his development agenda will be more toilets than tradecenters. religious guy, but a common sensical guy and has had many well fought battles with sundry swamys and self proclaimed gurus.

isnt chiranjeevi kaapu, a land owning caste?

siddharamiah would be a very good choice. his work in varuna is legendary and people swear by him there. he is a lawyer by trade and has been a fairly decent guy. the problem is he is not a congressi at heart or by instinct and is not likely to be too enamoured with sonia. he lost interest in jds be...

i have no objections Rajesh-ji*. But i just want to point out that the same applies to hindus in india and protestant evangelists in us.
