Letter to CM

Dear CM, Karnataka State,
Hello Sir, I would like to start this letter with my warm regards and respect. I am one among the millions of common people who work hard to earn a decent meal. As a responsible citizen I thought I will write a letter to you, specifying what are our basic requirements and what’s that we look forward and expect from you. I know you have a very busy schedule and thousands like me write to you daily. I would be asking for too much if I expected a reply for this but this is a small exercise to start as a campaign, so that if many like me write, may be due to the huge volume, it might catch your attention.
As Indians, we are all very much used to adjusting with what we have and what I am putting forward here are the basic things, in fact very basic things and all it needs is an honest effort and proper planning.

Our Requests are :
1. Water, decent roads and electricity: There is lot of illegal connection and wastage. If these areas are addressed, the shortage can be met. Awareness program on usage will also add a lot to solve the problem.
2. Basic health centers – Without any expired medicines and with well staffed
3. Public Transport: On time buses, Metro rail in cities and good connection points from one place to another will encourage a lot of people to take up public transport. If you see the trend, now a days lot of people are using the City Volvo services.
4. Cut down your’s, your ministers’ and officers’ travel by introducing Teleconferencing, they are very user friendly to use and saves a lot of your time.
5. Run your Cabinet as a company : Conduct monthly and surprise meetings, review issues and achievements, tag action items to ministers and chase them to close it.
6. Don’t give false statements, fulfill what you have promised: it’s the credibility issue. People are very smart now a days.
7. Bangalore is not Karnataka : Don’t restrict all your visits and plans to only Bangalore & Mysore. North Karnataka and the rural areas are waiting for the basic requirements from A long time. Improvement of those areas and moving some of the administrational works and promoting industries to come up in 3 Tyre Cities will for sure help the localities and automatically reduce the thick cluster of population in and around Bangalore.
8. Staying in Villages : Idea of CM staying in Villages, introduced by Mr Kumarswamy, is a wonderful concept. Request you to continue the same.
9. Education : “ Bisi Oota” and “ Sarva Sikshana Abhiyana” are the currently running very successful programs and request you to continue the same. Also need to urge on improving the quality of education in Govt schools by introducing close to the reality concepts. ( 90% of the things what we studied in school , we never use in our daily life and work, at least not me)
10. Rain Water Harvesting: To be made compulsory at every house, Govt premises, parks ( literally in all the possible places) as we are nearing the water shortage era very soon.

This is what I can think as a very small element of this system.

  1. I like No.5 - Run your "Cabinet" as a "Company". A smart point.
