One son (of the soil) blaming the other

The sons-of-the-soil at the BMC and MMRDA are at the blame game again, with each one going to the (ever ready) press over how the other was to blame for the 26 July floods and the bad road conditions. Both organisations need to be made professional by removing such utterly incompetent persons - who are taking the city to ransom.

Our over-enthusiastic press

One over-enthusiastic newspaper printed a picture yesterday of the WE highway, full of pot-holes (when they get filled with water, it looks pretty bad). Today there was another picture of the same spot (but of the dry road, since it hadnt rained). They claimed that due to their picture the authorities had swung into action and the needful had been done. What's to be realised is that the dry roads, also had the pot-holes, but since they werent filled with water, like yesterday, they werent looking so menacing. I also happen to travel the same route daily, and myself have seen that the pot-holes were just as before. The only person to have visited the place was maybe the newspapers' photographer.

The press doesnt waste time in taking its readers for a ride. They have to claim that they are the best - (using dubious and silly methods like this) - to score over other equally useless daily publications.
