The situation in Bangalore is pathetic. There was a little bit respite in the traffic issues because of some good work done after the Private company representatives started to work with the Govt.
The Govt. is making the issues look very big. Majority of the issues Bangalore facing is resolvable if Govt. put their thoughts together. At this point of time, its just the fight between Congress and JDS thats happening. The funny thing is the BJP who is a strong opposition is doing nothing about this. Probably they are waiting for the Govt. to come down!!
It is high time that Congress High Command look at the pathetic performance by Dharam Singh. He is good in just pleasing Deve Gowda and nothing else!!
If Bangalore has to be revived, somebody like S.M. Krishna has to lead from the front.

Hi, Krishna was voted out not by Bangaloreans... but the entire state-Mainly people from the rural areas. He was accused of concentrating developments only to Bangalore. Thats why Devegowda-who himself proclaims he represents the poor- got more seats.

Pearl:
To answer your questions -
a) While Congress performed well in Bangalore district and the constituencies in the district, it was the rural areas where Congress lost out on. As you would expect, a whole lot more seats in the legislative assembly come from the Karnataka rural hinterland and not its urban areas. In short, Bangalore does not matter politically in the state.
b) Krishna and Deve Gowda have a legendary rivalry going back more than a decade now and the JDS-Congress government could not have been formed if SMK was nominated as the CM candidate. Deve Gowda needed somebody malleable and ductile to his thinking..and lo! there appeared Dharam Singh.
