Bengaluru road gets fixed before VIP wedding, sparking public outrage

A viral post by a Bengaluru resident has brought to light a glaring issue many locals face—poor infrastructure miraculously getting fixed, but only for VIP events. The man, who lives along the Chandapura-Anekal Road on the city’s outskirts, shared his frustration with the road’s condition, describing it as a daily nightmare. “Potholes like craters, dusty gravel, and patches that challenge your suspension and patience,” he wrote.

However, last week, something unexpected happened. The stretch was repaired overnight, leaving the resident pleasantly surprised. “For two days, I drove with a smile, thinking maybe someone cared,” he shared in his post. But the mystery behind the sudden transformation soon unraveled when a message appeared in his society’s WhatsApp group: an open invitation to the wedding of a local MLA’s son.

Intrigued, the man attended the wedding, which he described as a grand spectacle—”a township-sized venue, movie-set-like decor, and a political show of grandeur.” The irony of the situation wasn’t lost on him, and his post has resonated with many others who have experienced similar frustrations.

The post quickly went viral, with numerous users sharing their own experiences of neglected infrastructure in the city. “The road between Chandapura and my village has been a nightmare for over 20 years,” one user commented, while others voiced anger over unsafe, poorly lit roads and the prioritization of political events over public safety.
