It Wasn’t a Protest. It Was a Walk for Dignity.
Civic Opposition of India warns that the sentiment is shifting from frustration to action: #NoRoadNoTax.
🛑 The Silence is Broken: #NoRoadNoTax
After years of neglect, citizens are finally speaking up, exposing the government’s duplicity in failing to provide durable, quality roads.
"The 'Civic Opposition of India' stands firmly with every aggrieved taxpayer demanding answers. We refuse to accept crumbling infrastructure as the norm."
Listen to this voice from Bengaluru’s IT corridor. More power to such hardworking taxpayers!

A Historic Win: When Citizens Threaten to Stop Tax, Leaders Pay from Their Pockets!
For nearly six years, the residents of Halanayakanahalli (off Sarjapur Road) struggled with a broken road filled with 250 potholes. Repeated pleas to the PWD and elected representatives went unheard.
But when the Citizens Movement East Bengaluru mobilized residents to threaten a Property Tax Boycott, the impact was immediate.
In an unprecedented move, 15 members of the Halanayakanahalli Panchayat paid nearly Rs 5 Lakh from their own pockets to fix the road!
Mithilesh Kumar, Founder of Civic Opposition of India, hails this as a definitive proof of concept: "This victory shows that collective bargaining works. When citizens stand united and say #NoRoadNoTax, the system is forced to respond. We applaud volunteer Arif Mudgal and the residents for holding their ground."
This is not just a road repair; it is a lesson in democracy.
