Krishna Watch  | S.M. Krishna
| So what does S.M. stand for? His full name is Somanahalli Mallaiah Krishna. In the inaugural session of BangaloreIT.com on Nov 1, 2000 Clarence J. Chandran (ex-COO Nortel Networks) said in his speech that S.M. stands for Simply Marvelous. We agree :-) So why was the media gaga about this CM? Simple... - Understands the importance of technology
- Understands the importance of BPO/ITeS
- Took initiative in encouraging Biotechnology industry.
- Formed Bangalore Agenda Task Force because he clearly understands that the city can improve only if citizens participate.
- Finally got the Bangalore international airport project to start.
- He treats govt as a "business", hence he has used the services of McKinsey & Company, the world's leading consulting firm with a 75-year-old history, to streamline its economy and locate more jobs for its citizens.
However, we have complaints with the CM for not getting the following done - Pollution levels are alarming in the state. NOTHING has been done about this. Check out the roads for yourself, majority of the vehicles are emitting thick black smoke.
- Dealing with any of the sub-registerar's office can be very demotivating. NOTHING gets done without bribing.
- Traffic police in Bangalore is a joke. They don't have enough powers to punish bad drivers. Cutting yellow lines, jumping red lights is the order of the day.
- Corruption still exists in government offices.
