This is how small business is encouraged in Bangalore. The world needs to see how we encourage people to do business & create jobs. And if you thought this was a one off case, talk to any small business owner about how many people come to their doorstep & feel entitled to take money from them without any compunction.
"Avvai while admitting in a statement that she had indeed taken Rs15,000 as bribe from an eatery owner, Channegowda, but that it was to grant his establishment a licence, openly threatened him saying that she would “take care of him” once she was out of jail"

Our elected representatives
Our elected representatives are behaving splendidly. They are providing able leadership in ethics & governance. Let us imprision a petty pickpocket for stealing from us at knifepoint while our corporators can extort at will with the same knife. They are providing a license in return see? so they are entitled. IPC probably only applies to extortionists who are not corporators or legislators. The citizens should watch keenly how the court & fellow leaders will treat such esteemed people.
both are from congress but..
its the same case with all parties..imagine what the rest of the goondas would be upto!
Even filing RTI's seems to be a scary affair looking at Lingaraju being murdered over it!
BBMP is spending way too much money for all the useless jobs they are upto..and have made a mafia..its time to shut it down completely..
Corporation needs to be directly run by a good efficient team with all powers and let them put good processes every around and then hand over it back to politicos if at all needed..
Foot path business
There are foot path businesses every where in Bangalore. However, only a few of these come to public notice.
Is it high time that a call is taken on this issue to legalize it?
sorry for duplication - @ PSA sir, IDS, Sri
IDS, I think yiu and I posted around the same time on this. Don't know how to merge discussions here.
But anyway, this thing generates a lot of money. If 10 of us can do 5 interviews each with street vendors around us, we will get very useful insights. Shall we try!?
