Fixng toilets in this Bengaluru slum is key to votebank

为班加罗尔贫民窟修厕所，成为了拉拢票仓的关键

BENGALURU: Candidates seeking votes at Polluramma slum in Doddigunta, which falls in the CV Raman Nagar assembly constituency in Bengaluru, are facing the wrath of people there. For six years, around 4,000 residents of the slum have been forced to use four dilapidated toilets, turning this into a major poll issue for the slum dwellers.

在贫民窟拉选票的候选人，遭受到了当地人的愤怒。6年来，该贫民窟的4000位居民，被迫使用4个废弃的厕所。从而使厕所问题成为拉拢贫民窟居民的重要议题。

The lack of toilets has been a pressing problem for 358 households in Polluramma (BBMP Ward 79) since 2012 after lack of maintenance reduced the exsting facility with 12 lavatories to a shambles. Dwellers claim toilet renovation was their primary demand in the 2015 BBMP elections too. “The problem was not addressed. This time, we’ll vote for the person who will assure us he’ll fix the toilet,” adds N Anand, a resident.

自从2012年以来，厕所缺乏一直成为358户居民亟需解决的问题。居民声称，改造厕所，也是他们在2015年选举的主要诉求。“然而，这个问题当时没有得到解决。这次，谁保证给我们修厕所，我们就把选票投给谁。”

政府没法满足民众的全部要求的。

人们自己要有意识，大家都参与进来才行

能不能成立一个负责管理厕所的监管机构呢，比如印度电信行业就有一个电信管理局

Haven''t these slum dwellers heard that only BJP will build toilets, not Congress ? In every BJP rules state, millions of toilets are built, but, none in Karnataka, Kerala or WB.

难道这个贫民窟的居民没听说过，只有印度人民党才会帮你们修厕所吗，国大党是不会管你们的？

在人民党统治的各个邦里，无数厕所被修建起来，而国大党统治的卡纳塔克邦、喀拉拉邦和西孟加拉邦等，没有新建一个厕所

印度人拿出一个样板厕所来炫耀，实际上没有一个厕所有图片中的那个厕所好。

Those leaders who do not help provide and maintain toilets and other sanitary facilities in their wards are certainly not treating their voters with dignity.

不为人民修厕所的领导人，是不会尊重选民的
