Its just what I feel. I still don't think that the government should expect anything in return for providing basic infrastructure but i respect your opinion and to tell you the truth, i dont care much for the tussle between the govt. and IT czars. I just found this speech funny. :) @sanket: Hey ,its okay. Its just what I feel.

Absolutely! There is no question of morals there at all. It's only a question of self interest and of survival. If the IT companies have to survive they have to give back things. So is the case for every other sector, and even at the individual level. Bangalore earns the state government most revenue? No. Even if it did, we should realise that the govt. that is functioning/non functioning in Bangalore is govt. of Karnataka and not merely govt. of Bangalore. They are not morally bound to do so.

Prakash expressed his views. Its sad that the IT companies did't help the flood affected areas but they aren't morally bound to do so and in no way can that be used as an excuse for not doing anything for improving the infrastructure of the city that earns the state government the most revenue. Anyways, that's just what I feel. @sanket: May be i am being too caustic but only because of the vehemence with which M.P. Prakash expressed his views.

It's not as simple as blaming each other. Karnataka, specially the northern part, has suffered from severe droughts last four years and, quite ironically, floods this year! In view of this there is a need to prioritise. In fact, M. P. Prakash's statement is a fallout of the perceived indifference of the IT companies towards the flood situations in N. Karnataka. Everyone needs good roads, everyone needs flyovers, but there is definitely a need to consider if rescuing the flood affected regions needs immediate help or commissioning more flyovers.
