Flyover inaugurated thrice in Bangalore!

Then came Bangalore City Development Minister V Somanna, who decided that the inauguration was improper. He asked the officials to put the veil back on the inauguration8217; stone, and once it was done, he unveiled it again. Before he did that, he did not forget to admonish the Deputy Mayor that her assignment was to propose a vote of thanks at the informal gathering, and not unveiling.

What added to the tamasha were the claims made by the inauguration8217; stone. It said that the names engraved on it 8212; Sri Balagangadharanatha Swami, Chief Minister J H Patel, Deputy Chief MinisterSiddaramaiah among others 8212; graced the occasion of inauguration on Friday.

They never did. The reason: the omission of Janata Dal leader H D Deve Gowda8217;s name from the invite, which provoked cancellation of the high-profile function.

However, what took the cake in this comedy-of-sorts was Shataj Khanum8217;s behaviour. She was certainly not to meant to inaugurate the flyover in the first place. She claimed when asked that she was not aware of the Minister8217;s presence. Later, she confessed: there was no way out for the Bangalore City Corporation BCC as rahukaalam inauspicious period was fast approaching.
