ADVANTAGE SHIKARIPURA

 
A HOARDING AT SHIKARIPURA
 The fortunes of the Karnataka government might be similar to the power situation in the state- always in the brink of darkness. Honorable Chief Minister has managed to come out victorious against every obstacle.
Shikaripura, the assembly constituency of CM B.S Yeddyurappa rose to fame along with it's leaders political growth. This  town bordering the Sahyadri ranges, part of western ghats, did not even have a proper bus stand. Now Shikaripura has gained a lot from it's leader gaining a political foot-hold. There are lot of projects that are under progress,like mini-Vidhanasoudha, Public Library, reservoir for town's water requirement, etc. 

PRIVATE BUS STAND OF SHIKARIPURA
  The roads that leads to the town has changed for good. Shikaripura now has a newly constructed B.S Yeddyurappa private bus stand. Couple of 'Iyravatha' buses also arrive at Shikaripura from Bangalore. ( only few government buses ply through Shikaripura).
However, the talk of the town is the newly developed garden beside the Shikaripura Lake. Hundreds of people throng to have a glimpse of the musical fountain installed in this park. The play area is crowded with children having a great time.The lights and the fountains make this park more pleasant in the evenings.

ILLUMINATED  PARK ADJOINING THE   LAKE
 Adjoining to the lake and the garden is a Heli-pad. The best view one could get of this beautifull landscapes is from the CM's helicopter. Want to be his travel companion, anyone?  

MUSICAL FOUNTAIN AT THE PARK





OPEN DRAINS SAME EVERYWHERE

But...but...but...Shikaripura ho ya Chintamani drainage drainage hota hai.The drains made for the rain water are open drains. The incomplete drains is the norm all over the town, even the street of CM's residence gets the same treatment. Happy, are you? The only thing it has drained is the public money from the  exchequer.
