Summary:
more-inThe Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) budget will be presented this week, but implementation of past proposals remains a contentious issue. “With all these measures, the civic body’s credit rating has seen a dramatic rise — from C to A (minus). While the ruling coalition — the Congress and the Janata Dal (S) — claims that the budget implementation has been nearly 80%, the Opposition BJP claims that the overall performance has not crossed 30%. The civic body’s pending bills were at a staggering ?2,500 crore and have now come down to ?800 crore. The revenue mop-up has also improved, increasing the percentage of budget implementation,” said Shivaraju..
