It seems that every two months, Andhra Pradesh gets a chance to make a pitch to IT companies in Bangalore. Companies Post about being disappointed with traffic, pits and infrastructure that needs to look and see cities with better features.
Latest pitch by Andhra Pradesh has given Minister Nara Lokesh to a Bangalore online trucking firm Malevolent After co-founder and CEO Rajesh invited his company to move to Visakhapatnam Yawning On social media announced that he planned to go out due to pits and dust -filled roads, with the lowest intentions to fix them “.
Industry leaders are fumming, and many feel that if Bengaluru does not get their work together, the capital of Karnataka may lose its Silicon City tag.
IT industry leader and former Infosys CFO Mohandas Pai is a very upset person.
He told News18, “Bangalore is losing its shine, Bangalore is losing its brand. Even an optimistic, who is from Bangalore, is losing hope.
Pai said that the problem is that there is no execution on the ground, corruption, and the officials do not listen to the ministers. The ministers also make false promises, claiming.
“This is the total failure of governance, the total failure of management,” he said, saying that he now feels pain and helpless.
Pai said that the problem is that the minister makes promises, but does not follow them. The problem is that they interact with the citizens, but there is no monitoring and there is no review. Everyone is making a statement. The Deputy Chief Minister comes, promises a tea-time, ‘I will do this within 15 days.’ Nothing happens, it just moves forward.
Speaking about how a social media post was seen by a senior politician, the road that was built a month ago has already developed the pits, he asked, “How the pits can be in the road built a month ago? Roads should be designed for rain. Rain is a common phenomenon.”
Pai said that he had given suggestions to the government to resolve the issue and ensure that the investment remains closed in Bengaluru.
“The Deputy Chief Minister and the Chief Minister should visit, one of those complexes should go there, all people should meet, make a list of things, and the traffic commissioner should call and chart a plan. Since you have five corporations, sit down the commissioners of these corporations, write the promises, set everything to fulfill everything, set a time limit to fulfill the time,”
Urban experts say that the real problem is that in the last three decades, Bengaluru has seen rapid growth compared to any other colleague city in the country. Considering how the city has increased, the companies set up the shop, and they also used them the best working environment. However, the fact is that no municipal elections have been held for five years, which has taken a toll on Bengaluru. At first, there were no dedicated city ministers who could address the issues of severe traffic congestion, pit roads and deteriorating infrastructure, including incomplete works such as flyover, metro connectivity and public transport.
Once a Bengaluru urban development portfolio was created, IT companies saw Hope. But this also failed as the misunderstanding continued. The money used for development never collided in the field, explaining to a startup founder, whose office is operated from the Manata Park in Bangalore.
Another senior IT company seeking an oblivion, the C-Supa officer said, “The main reason behind this failure is a lack of commitment to make Bengaluru great. Time and then, when the roads have a problem, the problem is addressed like straps. It is asked by companies that you want to adjust more and more?—And be smooth on it. ,
“Blackbuck’s decision must be served as a serious wake-up call to go out of the Orr. India’s reputation as a technical capital is the reputation of Bengaluru on infrastructure and ease of business. Gibitcia has urged immediate action-a transparent roadmap for the repair, public transportation and better urban rule. Bangalore IT and Company Association.” Andhra Pradesh IT Minister Nara Lokesh appreciated the interest shown to invite Blackbalk to Visakhapatnam. However, Gbitcia emphasizes that Bengaluru remains a leading technical center in India and highlights the immediate need for infrastructure reforms within the city itself. “
Gibitcia General Secretary Krishna Kumar Gowda said, “We recognize the efforts of Andhra Pradesh to attract IT investments, but the unique ecosystem of Bengaluru’s talent, innovation, and business network is unique. Working with government agencies to make Bengaluru a permanent and attractive destiny for all technology companies.”
Dissatisfaction coincides with several campaigns, including the PM, CM and Deputy CM to be included for postcards and poems writing, as well as asking for better roads, as well as a viral video of school children on riding a shock with a pit in a pit with a pit with a pit, which ruled public anger on the citizen of Bengaluru.
Lokesh’s invitation has ruled the quarrel between Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh over companies and investments.
A senior bureaucrat of the IT department said, “We will remain the country’s silicon capital. Karnataka and Bengaluru will remain the first choice for companies.” “Remember that old saying in a famous advertisement … the jealousy of the neighbor, the pride of the owner.”
This is not the first time that Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka have been in Loggerheads.
Lokesh’s father, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, had first offered Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) to an hour’s drive from Bangalore Airport by offering 10,000 acres of land in Lepakshi-Madaksira belt in Anantapur. The move announced Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivkumar in Karnataka, “Hell is the pride of Karnataka. We will not allow it to move elsewhere.”
On 16 July, when the Karnataka government officially planned to acquire land for an aerospace park near the Kempe Gowda International Airport in Bangalore, which was almost at the borders in Andhra Pradesh, after large -scale farmer protests, Nara Lokesh did not waste any time to make a pitch.
This offering of AP minister by Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah made a major victory to oppose the farmers just a day after the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced the cancellation of the acquisition of 1,777 acres. Siddaramaiah decided on the 1,198th day of his continuous agitation against losing fertile land for the project.
After a meeting with officials and farmer groups on July 15, Siddaramaiah said that the state had “fully forcibly completed the land acquisition scheme,” saying that the land will now be taken from only interested vendors, in turn with high compensation and developed plots.
Lokesh then posted on social media: “Dear Aerospace Industry, I am sorry to hear about it … I have a better idea for you. Why do you not look at Andhra Pradesh instead? We have an attractive aerospace policy for you, the best class encouragement and more than 8,000 acres of ready-to-uz land (outside Bengaluru)!
Karnataka Industries Minister MB Patil also returned to Lokesh’s “Open Invit” and announced that not a single company would leave Karnataka “for the desire of land”, as it was the working ecosystem of Karnataka that companies are more than a lover.
“I wish the slogan,” Patil responded to the proposal given by Lokesh to IT companies to IT companies in the aerospace field.
Two months ago, Lokesh made a pitch about how Visakhapatnam is emerging as a suitable destination for the IT industry, saying that the city is a wonderful talent pool, great infrastructure, and lands on subsidized prices that can attract further investment.
Lokesh, which is carrying IT companies to Visakhapatnam, said that the capital of Andhra Pradesh was emerging as a suitable destination for the IT industry. Lokesh told CNN-NEWS18 in an interview at that time that Visakhapatnam has a wonderful talent pool, great infrastructure, and as a state, they are ready to give land at a very subsidized price. He said, “I am joking and tell people that if Goa marries Bangalore and has a child, he can be Vishkapatnam,” he said.
He also compared and said that he took inspiration from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s famous industrial playbook, who, as the Chief Minister of Gujarat, allotted land to Tata Motors in Sanand for 99 paise.
He said that Vizag, as it is said, is a wonderful talent pool, great infrastructure, and land on subsidized prices, which can attract further investment. He had closed a deal with TCS, where IT Major received 21 acres of land for 99 money for a development center in Visakhapatnam.
“TCS is expected to produce close to 12,000 IT jobs in Visakhapatnam, which is the IT capital of Andhra Pradesh. We are excited to install TCS in Visakhapatnam, and we are eager to invite other big IT players, which are also to come down and set up shops,” said that he said.
