Very short post this one. ToI (Saturday, Aug 4) had carried an interview of the CM-in-waiting Mr Yediyurappa, and I found this answer very interesting:
TOI: Were you consulted on the change in government’s policy on BMIC?
[Promoting this to a sticky. More interest we see, more the motivation to stay up late and finish Mysore site sooner!] We will shortly be adding Mysore as second city on Praja. A new sub-site will be available at mysore.praja.in. If you are interested in joining Praja-Mysore content team, please register with Mysore as your primary city and let us know via the contact form. Send in a url to your existing blog as well if there is one.
I just couldn't find a right tag for this post and even thought about whether this fits at Praja. Its about an ongoing strike impacting all of us at Bangalore. Agricultural produce traders are on a strike because they are not happy with government's recent move to allow private parties to buy produce directly from farmers. Wait, don't run away, I am not going to talk about geeky stuff like APMC act, organized retail, their impacts and such.
