Netizens question CM Bommai on 'missing' four lanes from his '10 lanes' highway tweet
Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Friday, shared a video on twitter showing a “10 lane” highway, advanced infrastructural development in his state, which became a subject of trolling for the netizens as they could only find six lanes in the video.
The Vande Bharath Express passing under the 10-lane was spotted on the drone shot on the video where the Chief Minister claimed it to be a testament to Karnataka’s World-class infrastructure and unprecedented growth under Bharatiya Janata Party Government.
Responding to that Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted, “Our people deserve the best possible infrastructure, which our government will always work hard to provide.” The expressway from Kengeri to Mysuru aims to reduce the present journey of 3.5 hours to just 1.5 hours. The nearly Rs 8,500-crore project is scheduled to be inaugurated in March.
The users mocked the CM and asked where the other 4 lanes disappeared.

Well, it was supposed to be 10 lanes, but because 40% commission that contractors need to pay the BJP govt in Karnataka, it ended up as 6 lanes.
CM of Karnataka is both lying and telling the truth at the same time.
Lying about absent 4 lanes
Truth about corruption https://t.co/AFI4dKiVhI
Even adding the two railway tracks it counts to 8...

Where are other two? https://t.co/a3Es506pEN
10 - (40% of 10 = 4) = 6 Lane.

I love your professional ethics in sticking your margins sir. Salutes!
40% of 10 lanes = 4 lanes; 2 each for the double engines

So, 10-lane expressway turned into a 6-lane after removing 40% commission? #40PercentSarkar pic.twitter.com/WqoIFrFjMb
