Chairman of Manipal Global Education, T V Mohandas Pai had tweeted tagging Prime Minist Narendra Modi, Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, Urban Development Minister Hardeep Singh Puri and others saying, “@narendramodi Sir pl help Bengaluru, our streets have debris, garbage, drains are blocked… . Does all this need more money or better governance? Our Metro is behind schedule, There is total mismanagemetn, Pl review our Major projects.”
