The 2022-3 State Budget’s commitment towards the overall development of Bengaluru is underwhelming, especially as polls to the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) are expected to be held in a few months.
Though the Budget allocates ₹8,409 crore for the city, many of the projects mentioned are either those that were announced earlier or are ongoing.
Moreover, a majority of the ₹8,409 crore comes from ₹6,000 crore allotted under the Amruth Nagarothana scheme that is to be implemented over the next three years. This has come under sharp criticism from the opposition Congress.
