After receiving a clear mandate from the people to form a government in Karnataka, national president of the Congress M. Mallikarjun Kharge, while addressing the media on Saturday, said that the future government will start implementing the promises made in the manifesto from the first Cabinet meeting itself.
In the manifesto, released prior to the elections, the party had many big promises for Bengalurureans. Prominent among the assurances are bringing a comprehensive legislation for the management of the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP). If one goes by the manifesto, the BBMP will play a larger role in the coming days, including providing services related to water supply, transport, housing, power, and others.
Is the party planning to bring the BWSSB, the BMTC, and other agencies under the BBMP? The answer will be known only after the government introduces a Bill in the House.
