Look into the mirror first

I read this report in today's TOI as well.  Apparently he saw all the airports in the US and realized that BIAL is not upto his standards.

I am glad he looked around in the US.  If he had spent a bit more time looking beyond airports, he would also found that the quality of governance there would also be superior.  The roads, the interstates would also be superior.  Local revenue offices would not send people running from pillar to post for every khata transfer and other documents. 

So he would do well to set his house in order before making uncharitable comments.  The government still has not finished putting lights for the full stretch of the highway from Hebbal to BIAL exit.  He if I am not mistaken was part of the government that finally got BIAL going and could have held BIAL accountable to better standards.

Anyway - politicians are known for their double talk.  See his letter to BIAL on the completion of 100 days. 

He has also patted himself on the back enough and made claims that he has fulfilled 90% of his promises.

If Yeddi thinks BIAL sucks and we need a new airport, I wish him good luck in convincing the new investors!

Administration of international standards?

I am sure he would have noticed the roads and traffic there as well. I hope he is taking BBMP and other authorities to task

Mr CM!....

Unfortunately the same CM who claims BIAL is SHoddy, also suggests we Drink Milk instead of Beer, seems to olbvious to the Moral Policing in South Canara and lets his MLAs get away with Absurd Statements! Sorry, I dont really trust his opinions. 
 
His statements come just after a report that says BIAL has expanded all amenities and is getting positive reiviews. In fact, I feel someone probably missed the bus, and didnt get his share of the pie!
 
I wish he walked into Grand Central station in NYC, then I would really like to knwo what he thought of City Station.!!! Shoddy would be an understatement! 

Syed, on NRN and BIAL...

NRN resigned in October 0f 2005 and BIAL's lack of dazzle was not revealed until much later. The news reports of his resignation had references to one HDDG.
