Defensive Dharam
Karnataka's chief minister, Dharam Singh, has this to say about Infosys's Narayana Murthy:
Update (11.40 am): A friend from Bangalore updates me that there's been no power there since 4.45 pm yesterday evening. Ha.
I appreciate people like Narayana Murthy. He is the son of a schoolteacher and has done well and I highly appreciate it. People like Murthy frequently go abroad, sit in the US and compare Bangalore with foreign cities and say, “Oh, nothing is happening in Bangalore.” We have our own problems.All this, of course, while getting defensive about accusations that he's not doing enough to improve Bangalore's infrastructure. And oh, by the way, Dharam Singh completes one year in office today. Learning to toddle yet, Sir?
