Political Drama: Name Game


Do you believe in what Shakespeare said ‘whats there in the name?’
I don't think Indian political parties believing in this...

The Bandra-Worli Sea Link inauguration was supposed to be Mumbai’s pride but soon after its inauguration political parties hovered over it as if it is some kind of sure short way to vote bank.
The link has eight lanes and aims to reduce journey time from 45 to 6 minutes. But like other political controversies this has also been caught by the litigation.
I don’t know whether or not they don’t ‘ve any other issues to deal with? Are they not looking at the stranded commuters and to ease their travel? And it is not the eight wonder of the world that we should feel proud of this .look at the time over run, cost over-run while completing this project, many a times the design was changed which led to the time over-run. Look at the other parts of the world where more complicated structures were completed within the stipulated time.
I think there are more serious issues in our country to deal with.
To change it or not but like most of the other people I would like to call it as
‘Bandra Worli Sea Link’

Yup..... Indian politicians have this tendency to name mega projects on the names of the leaders of their respective parties..... Why not it be just tha 'Bandra Worli Sea Link' or on any of the martyrs of the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai??? Its all about taking credit n scoring some brownie points just before the assembly elections..... Shameful n disgusting.....
