I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE WORLD CLASS INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS BEING PROMISED TO THE INVESTORS. I HAVE BEEN LIVING IN GUJARAT FOR LAST 10 YEARS AND I HAVE YET TO SEE ANYTHING WORLD CLASS, EXCEPT FOR POVERTY, POPULATION EXPLOSION, VERY BAD ETIQUETTE AND VERY POOR CIVIC SENSE. I DOUBT IF ANY OF THE CITIES/STATES IN THIS COUNTRY, INCLUDING BANGALORE, AS WORLD CLASS.
