A municipal agency proudly tweets shoddy work as an “achievement,” highlighting the gap between official perception and public reality.
4. Corruption Over Care
100% of the public frustration points toward systemic corruption and mismanagement. Funds meant for lasting repairs often vanish into poor-quality work and political PR.
5. Citizen Outrage
Social media users have reacted with mockery and anger, highlighting the absurdity of calling a patchwork job a civic victory.
6. India’s Civic Irony
From roads to public facilities, celebrating minimal effort as achievement is a recurring phenomenon. Tar dumped, photos clicked, and bureaucrats pat themselves on the back while citizens suffer daily.
7. A Call for Accountability
Instead of PR stunts, municipal agencies need audits, proper contracts, and quality oversight. Roads must be repaired for the long term—not for twitter likes.
⚡ Bottomline
Bengaluru South City Corporation’s patchwork pothole ‘achievement’ is a perfect example of zero quality, zero alignment, and 100% corruption. Citizens remain frustrated, vehicles continue to suffer, and the government celebrates mediocrity.
