Bengaluru has received an allocation of ₹7,795 crore from the state budget for comprehensive city development in the Karnataka Budget 2021-22.
The huge resource allocation comes as no surprise as the BBMP elections are around the corner.
Soon after taking charge as Chief Minister, BS Yediyurappa made it a point and declared that he will bring about visible change to Bengaluru city infrastructure.
The city getting huge resource allocation is for the reason that it is important politically, it being the Capital and also has 28 assembly seats. BJP, of late, has been giving importance to the city with an aim for good performance in Bengaluru city as it can tilt the political balance.
