    "editor1": "The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike: The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) on Tuesday shared a video of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) cricketer Tim David praising the civic amenities in the city's public parks. The clip, posted on X, has triggered a flurry of responses from users.<p>In the 44-second video, David, an Australian cricketer who resides in Singapore, is seen commending the open-air gym facilities in BBMP parks. The clip is part of an interview with actor and content creator Danish Sait, known for his character \u2018Nags\u2019.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cWhen I miss Singapore, I come to the BBMP park,\u201d David says in the video.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cIn Singapore, there is really good exercising equipment -- big and strong ones. Trainer Basu Shankar took me to the BBMP park this morning. I used the hand-rotating machine, walked, and did some shoulder presses.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>When Danish Sait jokes that Bengaluru now seems to offer facilities on par with Singapore, David agrees with a smile -- \u201cAbsolutely.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He also delivers a message for youngsters -- \u201cChildren, the most important thing -- if you want to be a big power hitter, get stronger. Get down to the BBMP park.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The BBMP, while sharing the video, wrote, \u201cRCB batsman Tim David praised BBMP parks for offering accessible and functional fitness spaces to the public, drawing fresh attention to open-air gyms that have become a quiet but significant part of Bengaluru's public infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, the post drew criticism from many users who pointed to the larger civic issues plaguing the city.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cFirst, fix the roads that lead to these parks before patting yourselves on the back,\u201d wrote a user named Sufian.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Another user, Akshay, remarked, \u201cLet Tim David try commuting like a commoner in Bengaluru.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>A user going by the handle \u2018U-pain\u2019 commented sarcastically, \u201cYou need to be athletic just to walk on Bengaluru\u2019s streets.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The account \u2018Better Bengaluru\u2019 chimed in: \u201cHe probably saw the lawns outside his hotel and thought that\u2019s all of Bengaluru. Let him travel five km outside the CBD to see the real state of affairs.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>A user going by the handle \u2018U-pain\u2019 commented sarcastically, \u201cYou need to be athletic just to walk on Bengaluru\u2019s streets.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">LIVE Cricket Score<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
