City Leaders are with us for our everyday living. Yet, how many of us really care about them? Not many. Let’s change this attitude.

We are hoping for a dream budget for bus Basavaraj S Bommai sir. As you know the humble BMTC carries the 35 lakh trips every single day already with bare minimum support from state Govt. To save the city, you must strengthen the BMTC - the ROI is extremely high, please consider

Looking forward to #UnionBudget2023 . What it holds for us.
