Tender coup!

The DCC is doing big business nowadays, forgetting its own basic business of providing conservancy and other urban services by the city's foster fathers, voted into power in good faith. One big joint venture private group has landed two lucrative contracts in elevated highway and power projects. The public sector cannot deliver, and the private sector is monopolised by political tycoons.

The smeared political regimes do not have the moral courage to introduce urgent management reforms in the municipal sector, all cities are facing similar mal-administration problems as the unqualified and non-professional political masters cannot run the show technically.

There is no formal transfer system in the municipalities and city corps, hence the lack of change of atmosphere in the corruption ridden offices. The Nagar Bhavan looks impressive from the outside, but inside it stinks, as the politicians just do not bother to go by the rules and regulations. If the top leaders pose as pseudo mastans, what could be expected from the lower tiers?

The political culture is rotten to the core. It should be retired for a while for recuperation, to enjoy an extended holiday, for which the incumbents have been reimbursed in advance (huge amassed wealth in Technicolor)

What is the viable and noble alternative to political governance? None, except robot rule; as humans have disqualified themselves from looking after the welfare of the rest of the six billion souls, on this infernal hell known as Mother Earth.
