Needed: A CEO mayor

Needed: A CEO mayor

IT city Bangalore will have a new mayor by the end of the month. The citizens obviously like to have someone who understands the city’s problems, listens patiently to their woes, and turns words into action. Some sort of a CEO. Not one who keeps finding alibis, blames others and keeps making empty promises. Guess who are the aspirants this time? One is a school dropout, another an SSLC pass, yet another is doing the B.Com course (not even a graduate yet)! One more has a criminal record. Do we really have a choice? Why don’t we elect mayors as is done in many cities?
