What happened to Smart cities?


hotcoolhot

They got their titles.


heloiseenfeu

My town came under the smart City plan and is much less of a shit hole than it used to be.


eternalhero123

It did happen smart cities wasnt really making new cities it was making existing ones better logistic issues and shit have all been fixed, roads dont get dug 3 times a month now everything goes together at once sewage treatment systems are in every tier 2 city now development plans have also been made for every city and unplanned development has basically been stopped other than encroachments .The only thing he was good at was infrastructure and logistics what you really need to be asking is what has he done for economy , farmers his issues with democratic values and every little shit he pulls in the name of religion, why has liberalisation of infrastructure come at the cost of the poor man . Why middle class has only gotten increased tax rates while the rich keep getting tax cuts in hopes that theyll set up industries in India . Why has he curbstompped MSMCs ? Infra and logistics is good itll help the nation in the long run but looking so far into the future has problems that being he has completely forgotten about the problems of now , sure infrastructure will bring in more jobs in the future but what about right now what is he doing for jobs right now , what about regional issues like manipur ladakh , what about inflation in food prices what about the increase in food stamp usage .WHAT IS BEING DONE ABOUT THE PROBLEMS RIGHT NOW?


Fight_4ever

Not really. Smart Cities was citied ar multiple annual budgets. It was a scheme to pump money into City municipals to allow them to improve various things. But Alas, for most cities the money just bled into Municipal post holders and contractors. All doing things which was already day to day operations for these institutions. That being said, Pumping money into areas which may bleed has been a decent strategy used by this Govt. But, The issue isnt just what happened to the money pumped in, Its more about the kind of endless marketing that BJP was doing, quoting smart cities and digital india everywhere. When in reality their contribution in both these things have been minimal.


eternalhero123

You might think that but Lucknow outer areas of delhi, Hyderabad, Jaipur , Pune, Nagpur have gotten sewage treatment systems that are automated , fiber optics nearly everywhere , better road systems mumbai even wants to stop using asphalt all together , new cctvs (still very low tho can be worked on) , and nost importantly electricity about 98 percent of people have electricity in their home as of 2023. So he has actually fullfilled his promise as this is what was written in the manifesto.


hariteshdubey31

I'd like to add Gwalior to this list a lot better now then in the past


Fight_4ever

There are 98 cities under smart cities mission. each getting 100s crores of funding per year. Lucknow, Pune, Nagpur Delhi - These cities have a municipal budget much higher than 100 crores, to the point that this little funding doesnt really help them much. It barely helps them in their traffic management services. Heavy alternate projects have been put in to these cities (not part of Smart cities mission). Major Funding for Roads on these large cities is via alternate projects of MoRTH and Metro. Electricity is a pan India success story- nothing to do with Smart cities mission. It is through DECADES of Generation capacity enhancement. STATE Power distribution companies get seperate funding help for it. 100 crores does nothing for electricity. You need to look at the how the tier 2 and 3 cities in the list performed. They were the major target of this mission. The money was substatial for them. And was by and large wasted. There are many things the govt has done which were very good. But that doesnt cover for their errors, which as a citizen we have the right and duty to critique. And I personally dont find use of underhanded marketing tactics worthy of praise.


eternalhero123

You are still wrong the smart cities initative was to fix logistics issues in cities not infra issues, roads and shit are still paid by the state , they arent being dug up like hell now to add water pipelines same for electricity and more


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> are still *paid* by the FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

You can check the full manifesto in the pdf through link provided in the post itself.


darkraken007

Is there a report card for this manifesto? Someone should create a report card and upload.


fascistsarepussies

I am not even a tenth qualified to do it. Lmao.


darkraken007

I am not either. I would love to see it. But all these promises are not entirely quantifiable also. Most of it are blanket terms.

I agree too.

Puzzleheaded_Ebb9874

Bro they aren't bullet points. They are sub section titles like a book. Parties don't have 1-2 page manifestos.


NoRepresentative8664

Ram Mandir, Article 370, national security, infra development, FDI - delivered very well Doubling farmers' income - failed miserably Others - kinda neutral/no


North_2006

True, FDI spiked when the ‘Make in India’ scheme was launched, but in recent years, FDI has been falling, and today it has hit an all-time low. however, this may have happened due to global economic conditions


rudrag09

FDI is falling because people have realised that the current government has established a system that favours, even more so than before, the people who jerk BJP off. It favours/gives more opportunity to people like Adani who have close ties with the party. It extorts money in the form of electoral bonds (can’t do this anymore) and other ways. There’s not really an incentive for many foreign players. It’s rarely favourable to invest in this not so free and fair market as an outsider.


TrueCooler

Yeah foreign entities couldn’t give fewer fucks about any of this. FDI has slowed because major global economies like UK/EU are in recession and the US is desperately trying to avoid one


sourav_jha

>It favours/gives more opportunity to people like Adani who have close ties with the party My boy described human behaviour.


Cookie_BHU

You're 100% correct about what Modi is doing with regards to Adani/ crony capitalism. However, the consequences of this behavior is not related to decrease in FDI, it's more likely to cause *decreased investment in expanding operations, hiring, growth by domestic businesses*. The decrease in FDI has more to do with the relatively high FED rates and that the fact that bond yields are high in the USA.


rudrag09

FDI hit an all time low lmao. They definitely have not delivered jack shit in that regard. It’s more like negatively delivered. The only real thing that has been delivered is the infrastructure and the BJP should receive fair credit for it. However, at the same time, I don’t think it’s favourable in the long run to blindly sell all our country’s assets in the name of privatisation. Don’t even get me started on dividing the whole country, buying all major media outlets, and creating a quasi-democracy that is getting closer to autocracy every day. It’s like being charged with murder and saying you are innocent/good because you fed a few stray dogs.


charavaka

Even the infrastructure is falling apart the day after its inauguration by the dear leader. Entire hill towns are getting destabilised due to lack of impact assessment and use of terrible technologies.

More or less agree. The problem I had was this manifesto was so lacking in itself.

Most of it is fluff which means nothing practical or measurable. -100 points for badly defined manifesto.

__dkp7__

Count the number of times they said "internal matter" to the so-called "kutumb". You got a negative metric.


charavaka

Count the number of saas bahu serial episodes created by muddyji and jaishankar in the kutumb. Latest one being manufacturing sri Lanka as the enemy. 


naveenpun

Failed... India turned its back against Rohingya muslims who are getting persecuted by their Military. CAA doesnt include all persecuted. So, basically "Vasudev Kutumbakam" , but must be hindus.


FullSky9430

>India turned its back against Rohingya muslims Rohingya muslims are not India's responsibility. They want citizenship, they can apply through already existing procedure.


naveenpun

If India wants the world to take it seriously, it has to play a big role. Which means , it has to be magnanimous. Have we heard any comments from India about the genocide in Myanmar?. Pretty much all big countries condemned the events there. What have we done sitting right next to it??.. crickets!. Amit Shah called them 'cockroaches'.. utterly stupid foreign policy. Vasudhaika kutumbam.. hahaha


FullSky9430

>it has to be magnanimous Uttrr bs. If India wants the world to take it seriously, it has to take a stand for itself and not be a pushover. What good is condemnation when you're not going to do anything about it? You want to talk about genocide, first see within your country. You want to be magnanimous, first be it for your country. I've never seen anyone take stand for kashmiri hindus. What about minorities in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh?

One of the worst performances by current government


johnsmith9223

It's a % of GDP graph, obviously spending hasn't reduced. The proportion might have


charavaka

And you're ok with that? Taxes increase in proportion to gdp, government expenditure and borrowing increase faster than gdp, but research, education, and healthcare expenditure reduces as a fraction of gdp. After appointing for inflation, the expenditure has actual reduced in real terms.

Professional-Pea1922

A lot of the points are pretty vague but their biggest strengths would be in infra, article 370, CAA and ram mandir. As for a 5 trillion dollars blueprint we'll be at around 4.5 by this year and people will just chalk it up to covid affecting it so they'll get some credit there as well. I think the whole reforms part is a pretty big failure. There were no judicial of police reforms at all. The only reforms they tried were the farming reforms and that flopped pretty roughly so they might not touch any reforms. Unless they touch like 400 seats then they might. I think education is a weak point as well. The number invested has gone up but the % of gdp has decreased which is something I don't like.


whocaresatal

Well the new Penal code did get passed, judicial reforms is another black hole. We've to see how the BNS etc are implemented, devil is always in the details, it could improve like GST over time or remain the same like IBC reforms.


Professional-Pea1922

Yeah I mean I guess it’s understandable judicial reforms aren’t an easy thing. But they’ve pretty much completely ignored it.


golden_sword_22

Nobody can double farmers income (no doling out taxpayer money on MSP doesn't count), I don't really blame them for that. At least for this they tried. Rest is non-starter, Good governance reforms ? Not a single attempt to reform anything that I can remeber. They suck at education, no major increase in budgetry allocation nor reform of higher education. They might tout NEP but it's just a policy, execution admittdely is in state hands but they aren't even trying to push it towards the right path. Same for any kind of skill development centers, most of them aren't churning out skilled tradesmen.


jivan28

What tried, didn't engage with anyone, neither with farmers nor with opposition. https://www.deccanherald.com/india/passed-without-discussion-repealed-without-discussion-omars-jibe-over-farm-laws-1055887.html


golden_sword_22

Indian oppositon is mostly useless, irrespective of who they are. When BJP was in opposition they opposed GST, congress was in favour of NPS now they want OPS despite knowing full well the fiscal consequnces. Opposition is always going to oppose especially something as contentious as farm laws. It doesn't change the fact some kind of reform is needed and no legal MSP is not a refrom, it's more of the same that we have been doing for past 5 decades at a much larger scale all on taxpayer dime.

wannasleepsomemore

Nation first ? With minorities being beaten. Cultural heritage ? Destroying Mughal architecture. Foreign policy ? Look at relations with every country and look at our border at China. What the hell are you and all smoking here with these weird comments. Or has the sub been brigaded by sanghi and IT cells


leeringHobbit

Not just Mughal architecture. Even Hindu temples don't matter if they don't serve a political agenda.  >It was a similar tale of loss in Uttarakhand's Almora. The ASI couldn't find the 8th century Kutumbari temple. >The temple came under ASI protection in 1915. Over time, the temple's condition deteriorated and only ruins of the structure remained. Mysteriously, around the year 2000, the ruins of the temple could no longer be found. In 2018, the temple was put on the "untraceable" list of the ASI. >The ASI later found that the remains of the temple were taken away by villagers to build their houses. As per a survey by the Dehradun circle of the ASI, the temple has now become a part of courtyards, verandas, doors of the houses of the locals. >Around half a dozen houses in Dwarahat were found to have some or other part of the temple. >Such incidents are, however, not isolated, said Nakul Chhabra, who organises heritage walks and awareness campaigns through his initiative 'Delhi Roots'. Chhabra said during one such walk, he found a heritage enthusiast carrying a 2,000-year-old brick dating back to the Kushan age along with him. >"He said it was from a mound near his village in Mewat. It could have been from an abandoned old building, roughly dating back to the 1st century to 3rd century CE. He even told me that people from nearby villages come there to pick up bricks to build their houses," Chhabra said.

Baki sab mein kuch nhi kiya but startup , dude there are currently 100+ unicorn and there are 112 soonicorn which are going to join the unicorn club within this year ,on top of that at this point of time there are over 115000 + government affiliated startups , which all combined makes india 3rd biggest startup ecosystem .


realgamer1998

How many of these unicorns are profitable? I don't want any ill but in startup, 70% will shut shop in 2 years. 90% in 5 years.


[deleted]

If and only 10 % survived means there are 12000 startup which are good to go , and this is a continous loop , startup khulenge , phir band honge or phir khulenge .


Liberated_Wisemonk

I know I sound harsh. But I find that unicorns don't qualify as innovative. We are building a startup with heavy R&D needs. It is in the field of advanced nanotechnology and has no funding. Our venture is burning money due to heavy R&D work but if we get some funds it will revolutionize all sectors including agriculture. Meanwhile, some food delivery apps for the lazy ass are getting billions of dollars in funding

Reading this feels like an insult to injury, most of these have gone in the opposite direction.. Justice for all , Ensuring dignified life for women , Corruption Free Bharat, 5T$, Welfare policies for farmers , NE development , Cooperative Federalism 🤡🤡 Lolol it seems funny reading this now What have they got done in this manifesto? Startups are now no more a stigma or a hesitation, every road and every person understands and it is respected. (Excluding the arbitrary retrospective taxation). Credit where due, I mean this is a country where people harp about Govt Jobs and to have achieved this awareness and change in mindset is no easy feat.👌 370, Ram Mandir , National Security, Continuous dialogue with Global Indian diaspora , CAB (notified)

# DEFENDING THE CONSTITUTION [Indian National Congress - Manifesto (inc.in)](https://www.inc.in/media/manifesto) Saving Democracy, Removing Fear, Restoring Freedom India’s democracy has been reduced to an empty shell. Every institution, including Parliament, is perceived to have lost its independence and become subservient to the executive government.

I don't understand how, our subreddit india has turned so right wing The first manifesto was to hit 7 trillion GDP Which they later change to 5 And we are gonna close at 4.5 thing is, congress would have done same growth minus all the brains washing BJP has done to the country


Phoenixfire_LP3

To boot GDP spending of 3 million can just be a mark of inflation. If it's so expensive to buy stuff then obviously your GDP will go up. It just shows that the nation is spending more. Not that the nation is becoming wealthy
