Approaching the “I told you so moment” - now let’s quickly have the local GBA elections to prove this!
teapaw.org/raizerius/status/20856…
It’s been a decade since last city elections - a decade in which Covid has come and gone and AI has come and grown. An initiative by @oorvani and @Janaagraha1 with a data-led approach for the next local elections (hopefully soon) with technology support by @K2_181 and volunteers
Bengaluru last elected its ward councillors in 2015. Since then the city has spent about ₹38,455 crore a year with nobody local to blame for the pothole outside your gate.
The ward elections are coming soon, hopefully 🤞. A few of us are building something for them. 🧵

ದೇಸೊದೆಡ್ಡೆಗ್‌, ಬಾಸೆದೆಡ್ಡೆಗ್‌
ಬೆನೊಡ್‌ ನಮ ಸಮೊ ಮಣ್ಣ್‌ಗ್‌ - ಕಯ್ಯಾರ ಕಿಞ್ಞಣ್ಣ ರೈ
ನನ ದುಂಬುಗು ತುಳು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯೊದ ರಡ್ಡನೇ ಹೆಚ್ಚುವರಿ ಆಡಳಿತ ಬಾಸೆ.
ತುಳುವ ಮಣ್ಣ್‌ದ ಜನಕುಲೆನ ದಶಕೊಡ್ದ್‌ ಇಂಚಿ ಇತ್ತಿನ ಬೇಡಿಕೆನ್ ಈಡೇರಿಸಾದ್ಂಡ್‌ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರ. ಈ ಪೊರ್ತುಡು ತುಳು ಬಾಸೆದ ಮಾನ್ಯತೆಗಾದ್ ಹೋರಾಟ ಮಲ್ತಿನ ಮಾತೆರೆನ್‌ಲಾ ನೆಂಪು ಮಲ್ತೊನುವ. ಉಂದು ತುಳು ಬಾಸೆದ ಪೆರ್ಮೆಗ್ ತಿಕ್ಕಿನ ಐತಿಹಾಸಿಕ ಮಾನಾದಿಗೆ.
ಎರಡು ಸಾವಿರ ವರ್ಷಗಳಿಗೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಇತಿಹಾಸವಿರುವ ಪಂಚ ದ್ರಾವಿಡ ಭಾಷೆಗಳಲ್ಲೊಂದಾದ ತುಳು ಭಾಷೆಯನ್ನು, ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆದ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಸಚಿವ ಸಂಪುಟ ಸಭೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಎರಡನೇ ಹೆಚ್ಚುವರಿ ಆಡಳಿತ ಭಾಷೆಯೆಂದು(ದಕ್ಷಿಣ ಕನ್ನಡ ಮತ್ತು ಉಡುಪಿ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಗೆ ಅನ್ವಯವಾಗುವಂತೆ) ಘೋಷಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಇಲ್ಲಿನ ಜನರ ದಶಕಗಳ ಬೇಡಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಈಡೇರಿಸಿದೆ. ಈ ಮಾನ್ಯತೆಗಾಗಿ ಹೋರಾಡಿದ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ತುಳುವರಿಗೂ, ಭಾಷಾ ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳಿಗೂ ಅಭಿನಂದನೆಗಳು. ಇದು ತುಳು ಭಾಷೆಯ ಮಹತ್ತತೆಗೆ ಸಂದ ಐತಿಹಾಸಿಕ ಜಯ.

The claim that Bengaluru’s voting % was very poor was always debatable - the fact that almost 47% of the voter list is likely to be purged (notwithstanding the fact that many genuine voters might be booted out) proves that a milestone cleanup exercise was necessary. (1/4)
@Sowmyareddyr You are a vocal activist on good SWM practices - yet your followers deface the city with such hideous cutouts. Hope you will influence some action on this. And happy birthday - wishing you the best.

Since there is a lot of current debate on #strays that is polarising various groups, here’s a tidbit on this topic from my recent podcast on The Thing With This One Is with Ram Deshpande- it’s always live and let live, with responsibility towards others.

Are civic activists and volunteers burnt out? Is civic activism dying in Bengaluru?
Me and @srinualavilli had an opportunity to pose this question to a group of participants during the India Civic Summit hosted by @citizenmatters . Read on to find the answer.
@BAFBLR
Bengaluru’s civic volunteers exhausted but not out.

The masterclass 'is there burnout in civic activism?' highlighted the importance of youth engagement and modern communication skills.
@srinualavilli @raizerius
Push push push every day every citizen, every RWA, every government official, every bureaucrat, every politician to work for better governance - but every once in while an election to assert collective and transformative power comes and that’s when #everyvotematters @BAFBLR
@passportsevamea I am at POPSK Udupi with my senior citizen mother for passport renewal. Team here refusing acceptance of application quoting that Address Proof (Bank Photo Passbook) does not have full name of husband. Is "Spouse of" a necessary requirement in an address proof? – at Brahmavar, India

@BAFBLR @citizenmatters – at JP Nagar, Bengaluru South
@IndiGo6E I understand web-checkin is compulsory and allowed till 60mins before departure. But is it true auto-seat assignment is disabled 3hrs before departure forcing passengers towards premium seat selection?

Language is integral to cultural identity itself - great piece on the efforts of researchers to bring unicode identity to the #Tulu script
My latest story for @restofworld is about a decade long struggle to bring Tulu script into Unicode. But it's also about a larger worldwide problem of trying to keep languages alive in a digital age.
192 Indian languages are in danger of disappearing.

Had an opportunity to meet Dy.CM @drashwathcn today representing @BAFBLR. Presented some key issues pertaining to apartment residents.
The Governing Council of BAF had a meeting with the honorable Dy.CM @drashwathcn as part of its "An Hour a Month(AHAM)" engagement with him. He gave a patient hearing with a commitment to resolve one of the long-standing issue on STPs at apartments.
