While the economic numbers look good, I wish the government would be more transparent about how these investments are benefiting common people. Still seeing too many potholes and infrastructure issues in Bangalore.

The five guarantees scheme seems promising, especially for women's empowerment. But the rice distribution issue with the center is concerning - hope they resolve it soon for the benefit of the poor.

Glad to hear about the Nirbhaya funds being utilized properly! Safety for women should always be top priority 👏 Hope to see more concrete actions beyond just announcements though.

The ranking is impressive, but I wonder how much of this investment is actually reaching smaller towns beyond Bangalore? The development seems very concentrated in the IT corridor.
