When the bjp came to power in haryana in 2014, gurgaon — India’s corporate hub, home to Fortune 500 companies and millions of residents — was expecting world-class infrastructure, better planning, and modern amenities. Instead, the bjp government’s first big “achievement” was renaming gurgaon to Gurugram. That’s it. No drainage upgrades, no traffic solutions, no urban planning. Just a hollow name change wrapped in hype. Here’s why this is the perfect example of the BJP’s failed governance model.
1. Name Change Over Real Change
While citizens battled waterlogging, traffic jams, and pollution, the BJP’s priority was to rename Gurgaon. Real development requires work, but changing a signboard is easy PR.
2. Drainage System Still a Disaster
Every monsoon, Gurugram turns into a swimming pool. Roads flood, homes flood, and offices shut down. Did the bjp fix it in 10 years? No. They only gave the city a new name, not new drains.
3. Infrastructure Strain Ignored
With rapid urban growth, gurgaon needed strong urban planning, wider roads, better public transport, and sewage management. Instead, the bjp turned a blind eye — leaving citizens stuck in daily chaos.
4. Priorities Exposed: Optics Over Outcomes
The name change was hyped as a “cultural correction.” But what about residents’ needs? What about quality of life? BJP’s governance is all about optics, symbolism, and headline management — not actual problem-solving.
5. A corporate Hub, Left to Rot
gurgaon is India’s window to global investors. Yet, the infrastructure is embarrassing. Power cuts, broken roads, flooding, dust — this is what foreign companies see. bjp has failed even to preserve, let alone improve, the city’s reputation.
⚠️ Final Word
From gurgaon to Gurugram, the bjp has proved that its model of governance is really just “gober-nance.” Name changes don’t build cities, policies do. PR stunts don’t solve drainage; planning does. Ten years later, residents are still waiting for real progress — while the bjp shamelessly celebrates a cosmetic, useless name change.
Shame on the BJP.
