Bengaluru: During a recent business visit to Bengaluru, entrepreneur Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw expressed her frustration on her X account about the city’s poor road conditions and garbage management. Her tweet sparked significant media coverage, with several TV channels amplifying her concerns. In response, during a press conference, Labour Minister Santosh Lad was questioned by a journalist about Mazumdar-Shaw’s remarks.Handcuffs Backpacks Vegan Leather Casual Backpack Multipurpose Travelling Bags Daypacks For Men And Women

Addressing the query, Lad stated, “Our government is a democratic one; anyone can question us. But let Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw tweet about the central government’s GST funds and see what happens.” His retort sidestepped the core issue while pointing to broader fiscal disputes.Also Read: 11 Madhya Pradesh Cops Booked in ₹1.45 Crore Hawala Loot Case

Currently, Bengaluru’s road maintenance, pothole repairs, and waste management lack effective planning. While the affluent travel comfortably in air-conditioned four-wheelers, the poor bear the brunt of deplorable conditions. Questions linger about when the government will take these issues seriously.

Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has claimed that road repairs and pothole filling are underway under the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA). However, doubts persist about whether he has personally inspected the roads, as potholes remain rampant across the city. Answers to these concerns seem hard to come by.
