The Story in Brief
Greater Bengaluru Development Minister Krishna Byre Gowda will answer citizen queries on August 13 as part of The Hindu's interactive programme THTalksBengaluru. Readers can submit their questions via email by noon that day.
A six-time MLA from Byatarayanapura, Gowda has previously held the Revenue, Agriculture and Rural Development portfolios. He now holds the key to Bengaluru's civic affairs, with municipal polls expected this year. His recent drives clearing footpaths and abandoned vehicles have drawn both praise and criticism.
The Indian Opinion
Some praise the new minister's clean-up drives, others dismiss them as pre-election gimmicks. The real test is whether these efforts become routine or fade after the cameras leave. Will the municipal polls actually happen this year, and will Gowda deliver lasting fixes for Bengaluru's chronic infrastructure gaps? That is the yardstick, not photo-ops.
