LVR Layout

Satish Reddy, the BJP candidate who won from our constituency besides being young, also seems to be a dynamic person. He visited our layout some weeks ago and some of us had a chance to interact with him. I had the privilege of hosting him during that visit and some days later, his wife too dropped by requesting us to vote for Satish Reddy.

Well, he's given us assurances and we hope he will do something for our layout. It's early days right now, but soon, we intend approaching him with a memorandum of some of the things that we need to get done. For instance, the bore-well motor, the street lights and so on.

Whether he will do anything is anybody's guess. We all know politicians have this rare gift of making all sorts of promises and then concentrate only on those areas where there are "returns". It's not uncommon for politicians to have shortened memories. Goodwill of the people is the least of their priorities.

However, with Satish Reddy we have hopes. For one thing he lives in Bommanahalli - a sort of "son-of-the-soil" - and surely must be aware that this area has been long neglected. I'm sure he must also be driving down Begur Road and getting first-hand experience of bumpy rides, broken axles and tyre punctures.

There's just one thing that keeps bothering me; will he raise the topic of poor voter turnout from our layout?

We'll have to wait and see!
