state of west bengal there has been a fierce battle between the bjp and the state's ruling party, the tmcy, the chief minister in west bengal and narendra modi have been going at each other in the last few weeks, there there has been widespread violence and the campaign was brought to an early close this week, the tmc and the congress party accused the election commission of being biased, they said they brought it forward to end campaigning a day early so that narendra modi could stage a huge selection relic and that would then stop any other parties campaigning on that final day so the legacy, i've heard lots of people here site that think they are most concerned about is this identity politics, that india has increasingly begun to appear, certainly a private dinner parties and cafe is, about identity politics, which caste or religion you are from, this was not a common conversation in any meaningful way even ten yea rs conversation in any meaningful way even ten years ago, now people are saying that now that genie is out of the bottle, regardless of who comes to power over the next five

wanted you to know that within the next week or so, the sfmta will publish a report on the state of tmc companies such as Über and lyft and accessibility for people with disabilities. the report is one in a series of reports produced by the sfmta, the county transportation authority and the sf planning department. you may recall the first one, tnc today which showed where and when tncs are being used. where and when we provide the most transit service. and the reason we're doing this one, is that many of the benefits that have attracted users to these services, such as ease of payment, cheaper fare, shorter wait times, have not been afforded equally to riders with disabilities as we have done at the sfmta through our para transit and the wheelchair accessible ramp incentive programs. the report that we'll be releasing, that we're just finishing, will adjust the impact that tmc have had in san francisco on the underserved populations. we'll try to answer questions and make recommendations. since establishing oversight, the state agency has been charged with enforcing regulations which no

it is important to note that they support the tmc tax. you will also see the majority of support proposition that is the last year. even as the mayor did not. you definitely see this attitude emerging on the board of supervisors where they look at the tech industry employment for exacerbating a lot of the problems we see today. >> it is interesting how tech has grown up. tech has measured a little bit and brought a lot of jobs. it is for the front and center when it comes to helping the san francisco community. are there any other ceos or any in the group can be compelled or is making strides to do right by the city they live and work in? >> that is a good question. last year he had originally proposed a task in exchange for the support on when he plans to propose soon. now you do see these companies. they say they do support the tax because they agree they need to pay their fair share. that's what they are saying they want. you do see a little bit and supervisor gordon said with the ipo tax he does plan to have a bunch of these companies
