I never said that. It is you and your baddies that are denigrating Dhaka's infrastructure. Show me any post from here where I have mocked any infrastructure of any Indian city? Dhaka has more GDP than any Indian city barring Mumbai and Delhi, but infrastructure wise it is behind. This is due to low public investment. Urban infrastructure was quite neglected in Bangladesh until a few years ago while India focused more on urban infrastructure. Even today, most of the mega infrastructure projects in Bangladesh are outside of cities. Tax to GDP ratio in Bangladesh is one of the lowest in the World. So Bangladesh govt. has low capacity to invest in infrastructure. India's per capita infrastructure spending is twice of Bangladesh and Indian govt. has long records of prioritizing cities over villages.
So, we don't feel any awe if Indian big cities have better roads, airports or bigger network of Metrorail than Dhaka.
As long as you know the realities. . Indian government doesn't spend a penny on Indian cities. It's the states that manage cities. GOI only spends on national highways.
Stop faking GDP numbers, then may be you'll have respectable tax to GDP numbers. Even for this fiscal, your tax collection so far is up only 5.9% with inflation at 10% and growth claimed to be about 6%. Effectively the tax to GDP ratio already abysmal has gotten rock bottom. Fake GDP numbers will fall apart going forward.
