The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) 2022-23 Budget, which was initially scheduled to be presented on Wednesday, was put off at the last minute owing to objections raised by a group of city Ministers. There is now no clarity on when it will be presented.
In the absence of the elected council, the Budget is presented by the civic chief and approved by the administrator. It has to be presented before the end of the financial year, so as to have funding plans and funds in place ahead of the new fiscal.
This year, the Budget, according to highly placed sources, was scheduled to be presented on Wednesday. However, it is said that camps within the BJP were unhappy with the perceived partiality in allocation of funds to certain Assembly constitutencies represented by those who defected from Congress.
