The floods have created havoc in Bengaluru and the situation is worst than that of Hyderabad. KTR stated that, Our cities are our primary economic engines driving the States’/Country’s growth. With rapid urbanisation & sub-urbanisation, infrastructure is bound to crumble as we haven’t infused enough capital into upgrading the same.
He opined that we need bold reforms in urban planning & governance. Get away from a conservative mindset & think radical. Clean Roads, Clean Water, Clean Air & Better Stormwater management systems are not hard to build. We need capital infusion: urge @HardeepSPuri Ji to plan this & happy to help.”
KTR wrote in his tweet, “I am aware that some of my friends in Hyderabad will not like what I said. Because in the past, we were taunted by some Bengaluru leaders in similar situations.
But if we have to grow as a nation, we need to learn from each others’ experiences & show the might of collective will.” He always stated that the states must develop for the Nation to get developed in a big way.
