A lively debate was held in ward
no. 8 by Namma Bengaluru Foundation on August 19 evening where all the
candidates for the BBMP election from Kodigehalli ward put forth their
promises.
While the JDS & Cong
candidates were not present, Ashwath Narayan Gowda ( BJP) and
Ex-Corporator claimed that he has ensured that 99% of the
residents received Cauvery water & sanitation, up from a mere 10% five
years ago. Gowda also said he had ensured garbage clearance & relaying
of drains to decrease flooding at several low-lying areas.
He emphasised that his priority would be to re-do
the whole drain network , place public taps at heavily populated areas,
segregate waste at the ward level itself. Bowing to residents demands, he also
said he was open to constituting a ward level committee.
Prashanth ( Pyramid party of
India) emphasised on self -sustainment of the ward on all fronts from garbage
to water to electricity. He said adequate use of technology would help the ward
prosper.
Ashwath Narayan ( Independent),
spoke on garbage clearance, sanitation and sewarage being his priority. he also
said he will ensure adequate street lighting, if elected.
Velladurai
and Sharath Chandra ( both Independents ) spoke with some passion.
While Velladurai spoke of relaying roads, santitation & sewage. He said
installation of solar-powered street lights will increase womens'
safety, Sharath Chandra stressed on ward committee formation,
accessibility to reach him, better roads and transparency.
Nice ward level initiative by north Bangalore post.
