China patiently invested capital, skill and technology in coal gasification. Unlike it, we won’t move from words to action. As crude prices decline, we lose interest.
So they want to implement “London style tax” without London like public transport facility ? This is absolute madness.
I am in support of less private vehicles but they need to develop public transport. As someone else mentioned look at the footpaths. Either they are encroached by beggars and illegal vendors or in some places they look like they were bombed. Now I went to Bangalore a year back but I am pretty sure nothing has changed.
You are just taxing people but are they getting anything back ? This stupid Congress government is spending 40,000 crores on a tunnel road ? What kind of a signal are you giving ? That money can be used to built 2 different metro lines or revamp the bus infrastructure. Utter rubbish.

London style congestion tax for third-rate street infrastructure of Bengaluru is cruel.
