Bengaluru, Aug 14: Bharatiya Janata Party supremo Amit Shah is trying to incite communal tension ahead of looming assembly polls and misusing Income Tax department to destabilise the Congress government in Karnataka, according to AICC spokesperson Dinesh Gundu Rao.

Speaking to media persons here, Rao said that Shah’s main agenda is polarisation of people on religious grounds by creating communal tension. Hence, Shah has been confidently saying that he knows how to win the Assembly elections in the state. But, Shah will not succeed in his game plan. The Congress will come back to power, he added.

The BJP chief has termed the state government as corrupt. But, he does not have moral right to talk about corruption. Many of the state BJP leaders are corrupt. The BJP is trying to defame the Congress government by misusing the I-T department. Besides, the saffron party is carrying out a misinformation campaign against the government using social media, he charged.

Rao also accused the BJP’s Vistaaraks of misleading people on the achievements of Union government led by Narendra Modi.

Vistaarks are distributing pamphlets to people, making false claims. The Modi government has failed on all fronts, he charged.

The BJP reacted immediately and termed Rao as frustrated. “In his address to the intellectuals, Shah has only highlighted the achievements of the BJP government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It was hard facts. To dub it as a lie is travesty of truth. Dinesh Gundu Rao’s rantings, however, will not alter or change the ground reality,” BJP spokesperson S Suresh Kumar said, adding that the Congress appears to have been rattled with Shah’s visit to Karnataka.

But rooting out congress will give birth to annoying characters like Kejriwal or Mamata.
So, it is better to create or leave some space for Congress. But congress is also on
self destructive mode. It is shedding it's nationalistic character by not supporting
economic issues of the govt. Though it will be in nation's interest who will help them.

The day BJP brought back leaders like Yedyurappa and others who left the party to
achieve their selfish desires, that day itself majority of the people have decided not to
vote for BJP again in Karnataka . Sitting beside such corrupt and casteist leaders
Shah must be day dreaming to root out Congress, but Karnataka will be BJP's nemisis
in the future polls. At the most BJP may get 35 seats in Karnataka.

Wake UP

Newsroom, Jan 29: Karnataka’s capital has earned the unwelcome distinction of global capital of traffic congestion. According to a report by TomTom, the Netherlands-based global provider of navigation, traffic and map products, Bengaluru beat 415 other cities across 57 countries to earn the title of world's most traffic congested city in 2019.

“Bengaluru takes the top spot this year with drivers in the southern Indian city expecting to spend an average of 71% extra travel time stuck in traffic," TomTom said in the ninth edition of its annual Traffic Index.

Three other Indian cities, namely, Mumbai, Pune and New Delhi are also ranked in the 2019 edition of TomTom’s Traffic Index of the world’s most traffic-congested cities. 

The report released on Tuesday ranks cities by the average time added to a trip. TomTom index also includes details on when congestion is heaviest and lightest, how highways compare with surface streets, and how much time drivers wasted waiting for other drivers to get out of their way.

Following closely on the heels of Bengaluru is Manila, Philippines, with the similar 71% traffic congestion. Among the top five worst traffic affected cities are Mumbai and Pune from India at the fourth and fifth place respectively, while Bogota, Colombia is on third spot.

Delhi, the national capital of India is on the 8th spot, while Moscow (Russia), Lima (Peru), Istanbul (Turkey) and Jakarta (Indonesia) are on 6th, 7th, 9th and 10th spot respectively.

Mumbai recorded a 65% traffic congestion with 9th September, 2019 being the worst day. On an average, a Mumbaikar lost 209 hours in traffic congestion. Pune has 59% traffic congestion with 2nd August, 2019 being the worst day. 193 hours are lost due to congestion. Delhi, on the other hand, has 56% traffic congestion. 23rd October, 2019 was the worst day, while 190 hours are lost in traffic congestion.

Interestingly, among all the four Indian cities, Delhi has the most number of cars. Previous studies have concluded that Delhi has the best road conditions among the Metro cities of India.

If you are wondering what exactly the percentages mean, a 53% congestion level in Bangkok, for example, means that a trip will take 53% more time than it would during Bangkok’s baseline uncongested conditions.

TomTom calculates the baseline per city by analyzing free-flow travel times of all vehicles on the entire road network – recorded 24/7, 365 days a year. The report by Dutch navigation and mapping company ranks cities by the average time added to a trip. It also includes details on when congestion is heaviest and lightest, and how much time drivers wasted waiting for other drivers to get out of their way.
