Bengaluru Metro

Yesterday as I was roaming around in MG road (Bangalore) along with my friends, we noticed a roadblock with the sign Bangalore Metro work. Had the metro work already started? (It has just been a couple of days since the central ministers gave a green signal to the state govt) My friend quipped “This CM is not a man of words, he is a man of action”. Going by his performance in the past 1 month, I think I have to agree with my friend.

The CM stepped in amid controversy and no big expectations from him. But so far he has done a fairly good job. Redeeming the PPP initiative and announcing more institutes of higher education like IISc are good signs. By declining to meet any of the leaders of his alliance partners BJP stating that he had lot of official business to take care of, he proved that he is not just another politician.

Well, hoping that the CM faces the challenges in his political career and helps Bangalore regain its title as the Garden City and not the Pothole city.

Cheers,
Agent Pal

It is regarding the metro railway line, no doubt, but did you read the papers 2 days back , which stated that all work on the metro has been halted due to lack of clearance from some regulatory govt. organization. Also the japanese bank which is funding the current project some 1300 crores as loan has given a dead line for this month end for the clearance, not conforming to which might result in the cancellation of the loan. One just hopes that the rest of the rusty govt. machinery will try to keep up the pace with dynamic chief ministers like the current one.
