Yaara Appana Mane Gantu?

or 'Yaara Appana hesaralli Saala?'
The above line depicts it better 'Whose loan is it anyways'..we all know BBMP/Govt coffers are empty and they are living on loans..but what are they doing about it? Nothing..all they are doing is :
- Promoting an Akrama called 'Sakrama'
- Announcing lavish plans to Blr
- Re-modelling Blr
If you guys have observed, all the bus stops are being uprooted since the last week..perfectly functional bus stops complete with steel furniture has been diamatled. And the plan is to replace them.
WHy..WHy..why?
There is another instance of an over zealous authorities who are remodelling some park..one of them in question is the BDA park in Avalahalli. This one as depicated below had good functional fence in steel..now everything has been uprooted and they are redoing it!
Why Why Why??
Why arent we taking on more important projects and spending money in the right way?
Why everything is always election oriented?

Just so you know BBMP has transferred bus stops to BMTC. This is all BMTC budget now and they probably want to put it where they want it. Of course I dont know if this means they have to destroy everything. And more importantly if the buses still wont stop in the bus stand it will be time to bring down the house.

BMTC or BBMP or BDA or anything..even if its a corporation or not!
For example, they laid a generous coat of asphalt for the new Thippasandra main road few weeks ago..it was a tamasha blocking the road for 3 days for that. They have laid a good road, no doubt, atleast 3-4 inches thick..but what was the need!
I have been travelling on this road since a year and the old road just needed some pot holes to be filled..and that would have done..instead they lay the whole road..idu yaara gantu...er..saala?
Yella electiongagi!
Wastage of taxpayers money for kickbacks ?

All bus stops are yet to be transferred to BMTC.
The bus stop at Domlur now has a large panel with map & displays route nos. of buses that halt there. Here, they have not replaced the old bus shelters, but only added the side panel for the map /route nos. I did take some pictures to post online, but somehow, they got corrupted - will try again.
I did notice many bus shelters being erected in place of the old ones (eg. in front of Corpn office). I'm not sure these are being done scientifically at all since the design for these new shelters are similar (ie. they occupy large parts of sidewalks). The only addition is the free standing panel with map & bus route nos.
So, it is confounding to understand - why on earth is it necessary to replace the old ones in entirity when locations are adjacent the old ones ? All that is needed is the additional panel, like the job done at domlur bus stop.

I agree with Srinidhi. I jst noted few weeks back Koramangala Canara Bank busstop suddenly lost its waiting benches which were really good (granite ones). I dont think public were never informed the intention/schedules/goal of such removal. To date, I dont see any progress. So common man is suffering (as usual).
In general, the BBMP(any normal govt. organization) never notifies public any of such work , specifically which causes inconvience to public. I checked their website as well, but in vain.
